Overview
Other diagnostic studies for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 include genetic testing, which demonstrates gene mutation in proband.
Genetic Testing
- Identifying an MEN1 gene mutation in the proband early in the disease process can allow for early detection and treatment of tumors and earlier identification of at-risk family members.
- Many studies have been performed to determine the prevalence of MEN1 gene mutations among patients with apparently sporadic MEN1-related tumors.
- Genetic testing for mutations in MEN1 is recommended if one of the following conditions is present
- Gastrinoma at any age
- Multifocal duodenopancreatic NETs at any age
- Parathyroid hyperplasia/adenomas before age 30 or 40 years
- Multiglandular parathyroid adenomas/hyperplasia or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism.
- Presence of one of the three main MEN1 tumors plus one of the less common tumors/findings
- Presence of two or more features (e.g., adrenal adenomas and carcinoid tumor)
- Individuals with isolated parathyroid and/or pituitary tumors are less likely to have an identifiable mutation than those with pancreatic tumors
- DNA sequencing is the primary method of genetic testing
- Haplotype analysis can be performed using specific locus markers flanking the MEN1 region and reaches a degree of confidence when a substantial number of affected members have been analysed.[1]
- Molecular genetic testing is used for predictive testing and prenatal diagnosis.
- Sequence analysis detects sequence alterations upto 70-90% familial mutation and 65% simplex mutation.
- Deletion testing detects MEN duplication or deletion upto 1-3% of the mutation.
Genetic Counselling
- It is an autosomal dominant disorder.
- Child of an individual to MEN1 syndrome has 50% chance of inheritance.
- Siblings of an individual affected by MEN1 syndrome have 50% chance of inheritance.
- If the germline mutation has been identified in an affected family member, molecular genetic testing can be used to screen the at risk relatives.
- Prenatal diagnosis during pregnancies of individuals with increased risk is available.
