Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1782: Clinical Factors Predicting Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 and Type 4 in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors

Conclusion: These preliminary data show that a diagnosis of NET in patients with a negative family history is suggestive of MEN1 in the presence of ≥three positive phenotypic criteria, including early age, multifocality, multiple MEN-associated manifestations, and endocrine syndromes. This indication may allow optimization of the diagnosis of MEN in patients with NET.
