Abstract
The co-occurrence of parathyroid hyperplasia with pancreatic endocrine tumours and/or pituitary adenoma is classified as Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) and is caused by a germ-line mutation in MEN-1 gene encoding a tumour suppressor protein, menin. This review presents clinical expressions, diagnosis and management of the MEN-1 syndrome. Properties and mechanisms of menin functions are also reviewed.Entities:
