A carrier of both MEN1 and BRCA2 mutations: case report a-lid review of the literature
A carrier of both MEN1 and BRCA2 mutations: case report a-lid review of the literature CANCER GENETICS AND CYTOGENETICS Ghataorhe, P., Kurian, A. W., Pickart, A., Trapane, P., Norton, J. A., Kingham, K., Ford, J. M. 2007; 179 (2): 89-92Abstract
High-penetrance autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes such as BRCA2 and MEN1 result in specific patterns of cancers in individuals who inherit germline mutations. Their incidence in the population is relatively low, however, and it is highly unusual to identify individuals with two or more inherited cancer gene mutations. We describe a family with multiple cases of MEN1-associated cancers as well as pancreatic adenocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, and male breast cancer, in which we identified germline mutations in both MEN1 and BRCA2. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with both MEN1 and BRCA2 mutations and with a personal history of hyperparathyroidism and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
