Abstract
Family history is an essential component of the workup of endocrine surgery patients. The family history can change the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of endocrine patients. Here we discuss the importance of family history, review familial endocrine disorders, and develop a list of pertinent questions to ask when taking a family history of patients with endocrine disorders.
