Utility of Intraoperative Intrinsic Near-Infrared Imaging for Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor gene  and is characterized by parathyroid, pancreatic islet, and anterior pituitary tumors. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most characteristic finding in MEN1, and intraoperative identification and accurate removal of the diseased parathyroid glands are vital since incomplete excision results in recurrence. This case report describes a 59-year-old woman who had pancreatic islet cell tumors and pituitary tumors and underwent selective transsphenoidal adenomectomy.

Menin Deficiency Induces Autism-Like Behaviors by Regulating Foxg1 Transcription and Participates in Foxg1-Related Encephalopathy.

FOXG1 syndrome is a developmental encephalopathy caused by FOXG1 (Forkhead box G1) mutations, resulting in high phenotypic variability. However, the upstream transcriptional regulation of Foxg1 expression remains unclear. This report demonstrates that both deficiency and overexpression of Men1 (protein: menin, a pathogenic gene of MEN1 syndrome known as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1) lead to autism-like behaviors, such as social defects, increased repetitive behaviors, and cognitive impairments.

Methods: In this retrospective investigation, five individuals who had tested positive for a hereditary MEN1 variant underwent Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/MR between May 2020 and January 2023. Several types of tumours associated with MEN1 were studied.

Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Young and Adolescents: Alike or Unlike Adult Hyperparathyroidism? - A Series from South India.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine condition but rare in the pediatric and adolescent populations. The presentations can be unique, accounting for significant morbidity in the case of untimely detection.

Aim: To study surgically treated pediatric PHPT retrospectively.

Heterogeneity of Multiple Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Identified by 68Ga-DOTANOC and 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT in a Patient with Endogenous Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia and Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1.

Introduction: Insulinomas are the most frequent functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. In about 10% of cases, insulinomas are associated with hereditary syndromes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 (MEN1).

Case Presentation: Herein, we present a 44-year-old female with recurrent hypoglycemia.

Multifocal Insulinoma as the Unique Presenting Feature of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 in an Adolescent.

Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder defined by the presence of two of the following endocrinopathies: primary hyperparathyroidism, anterior pituitary tumors, and duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). NETs, which can secrete hormones including insulin, gastrin, and glucagon, among others, are common in patients with MEN1 and are a major cause of morbidity and premature death. NETs are more common later in life, with very few cases described in children.

[Comparative analysis of bone complications/manifestations in sporadic and MEN1-related primary hyperparathyroidism].

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) - is a rare syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene (MEN1). Parathyroid involvement is the most common MEN1 manifestation resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT). Data on the prevalence and structure of bone disease in mPHPT compared to sporadic one (sPHPT) are often incomplete and contradictory.

[Tumor predisposition in endocrinology - from MEN to FIPA].

Understanding genetic predisposition has a significant impact on the management of patients with endocrine tumours, including therapy, early detection and prevention. These tumours, which develop as part of a familial predisposition, often manifest early in life and frequently affect several endocrine organs. In the following article, both common syndromes, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes, and rare syndromes, such as familial isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA), are presented based on their indicator diseases.

PHPT with Pancreatitis: Atypical Presentation of PHPT.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is rarely associated with the occurrence of acute or chronic pancreatitis, requiring complex perioperative management. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and disease characteristics of pancreatitis in PHPT.

Materials And Methods: This study is a clinicopathological analysis of the medical records of patients who were diagnosed with PHPT with pancreatitis between 1989 and 2021 in the Endocrine Surgery department, SGPGI, Lucknow.

Microwave ablation for recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism in four patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1: a case series report.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), a rare tumor syndrome, is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, mainly manifested as primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Surgery is preferred for patients with MEN1 and PHPT. Thermal ablation has been widely applied for PHPT but rarely for postoperative recurrent PHPT in MEN1 patients.

[Plasma miRNA expression in patients with genetically confirmed multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome and its phenocopies].

Background: MEN-1 is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in MEN1 gene encoding the menin protein. This syndrome is characterized by the occurrence of parathyroid tumors, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pituitary adenomas, as well as other endocrine and non-endocrine tumors. If a patient with the MEN-1 phenotype carry no mutations in the MEN1 gene, the condition considers a phenocopy of syndrome (phMEN1).

Genotype-histotype-phenotype correlations in hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) of pancreatic origin includes congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), insulinoma, insulinomatosis, and adult-onset non-insulinoma persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia syndrome (NI-PHHS). In this review, we describe the genotype-histotype-phenotype correlations in HH and their therapeutic implications. CHI can occur from birth or later on in life.

Beyond MEN1, When to Think About MEN4? Retrospective Study on 5600 Patients in the French Population and Literature Review.

Context: Germline CDKN1B variants predispose patients to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 4 (MEN4), a rare MEN1-like syndrome, with <100 reported cases since its discovery in 2006. Although CDKN1B mutations are frequently suggested to explain cases of genetically negative MEN1, the prevalence and phenotype of MEN4 patients is poorly known, and genetic counseling is unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of MEN4 in MEN1-suspected patients and characterize the phenotype of MEN4 patients.

Whole-Exome Screening and Analysis of Signaling Pathways in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Patients with Different Outcomes: Insights into Cellular Mechanisms and Possible Functional Implications.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a syndrome characterized by tumors in multiple organs. Although being a dominantly inherited monogenic disease, disease phenotypes are unpredictable and differ even among members of the same family. There is growing evidence for the role of modifier genes in the alteration of the course of this disease.

Syndromic MEN1 parathyroid adenomas consist of both subclonal nodules and clonally independent tumors.

Primary hyperparathyroidism with parathyroid tumors is a typical manifestation of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN1) and is historically termed "primary hyperplasia". Whether these tumors represent a multi-glandular clonal disease or hyperplasia has not been robustly proven so far. Loss of Menin protein expression is associated with inactivation of both alleles and a good surrogate for a MEN1 gene mutation.

Familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with intrathoracic low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a hereditary tumor syndrome characterized by endocrine tumors with mainly a parathyroid, pancreatic, or anterior pituitary origin. Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare low-grade soft tissue tumor. There is one known report of a patient with MEN1 complicated by LGFMS, which is very rare.

[Individualized approach for MEN1-associated duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms].

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)-associated duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (dpNEN) represent the most frequent syndrome-associated cause of death, but the adequate treatment is sometimes considered controversial.

Objective: Presentation of possible diagnostic and therapeutic options for MEN1-associated dpNENs.

Material And Methods: In this review article retrospective case studies, expert recommendations, national and international guidelines as well as personal experiences were analyzed and evaluated.

[Multiple neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas].

Multiple neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the pancreas often have a hereditary background. Sporadic and hereditary NET do not differ morphologically or with regard to their hormone expression. The most important clues for a hereditary background are provided by examination of the peritumoral pancreatic tissue, especially the morphology and hormone expression of the endocrine islets.
