- Abstract
Diagnostic molecular genetic testing for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) has been available since the identification of the MEN1 gene in 1997. Mutation screening of the MEN1 gene has been recommended for patients who meet clinical criteria for MEN1 (at least two of the following: parathyroid hyperplasia, pancreatic endocrine tumour or pituitary adenoma) and those in whom a diagnosis of MEN1 is suspected. We examined the appropriateness of these clinical criteria.
