Case Report: The Role of Molecular Analysis of the Gene in Asymptomatic Individuals.

-associated polyposis (MAP) is a rare hereditary condition caused by the biallelic mutation in the gene encoding MUTYH glycosylase. This enzyme is a key member of the base excision repair (BER) pathway responsible for the repair of DNA lesions formed by reactive oxygen species (ROS). We report two cases of MAP.

[An incidental finding of pheochromocytoma in a 33-year-old patient with Lynch syndrome].

Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumor arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. The detection of these tumors is extremely important because they are associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Progress in molecular genetics has revealed that up to 35% of pheochromocytomas are inhereted.
