Neoplasias endocrinas múltiples: un modelo clínico para aplicar técnicas de genética molecular

Multiple endocrine neoplasias (MEN) are syndromes inherited as autosomal dominant. The application of the techniques of molecular biology has made possible the identification of the genes causing MEN 1 and 2. The gene responsable for MEN 1 belongs to the family of tumor suppressor genes and encodes...
