Previous research has found that a mutation in a protein called menin causes a hereditary cancer syndrome called MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1). Individuals with MEN1 are at a substantially increased risk of developing neuroendocrine tumors, including cancer of the pancreatic islet cells that secrete insulin. Yet knowing these connections and doing something to improve fighting the syndrome are two different things. Researchers still did ...Saturday, 27 April 2013
Inherited Endocrine Tumor Syndrome Linked to Cell Pathway
Previous research has found that a mutation in a protein called menin causes a hereditary cancer syndrome called MEN1 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1). Individuals with MEN1 are at a substantially increased risk of developing neuroendocrine tumors, including cancer of the pancreatic islet cells that secrete insulin.
