A MEDLINE search for all available publications regarding multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and p...

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a frequent complication of pregnancy in India. Sheehan's description of postpartum hypopituitarism promoted the belief that PPH leads to necrosis of the enlarged pituitary gland of pregnancy and hypopituitarism. However, slow clinical progression suggests factors other than ischemia in its pathogenesis. Tissue necrosis could release sequestered antigens, triggerin...
متن کامل11q13 allelic loss in pituitary tumors in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1.
Pituitary adenomas may develop sporadically or as part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1) syndrome. The gene responsible for MEN 1 syndrome was recently identified and cloned. Low rates of MEN 1 gene mutations and deletions have been reported in sporadic pituitary adenomas. To elucidate the role of the MEN 1 gene in the pathogenesis of MEN 1-associated pituitary tumors, we exami...
متن کاملGenetic analysis in young patients with sporadic pituitary macroadenomas: besides AIP don't forget MEN1 genetic analysis.
CONTEXT Germline mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein gene (AIP) have been identified in young patients (age ≤30 years old) with sporadic pituitary macroadenomas. Otherwise, there are few data concerning the prevalence of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) mutations in such a population. OBJECTIVE We assessed the prevalence of both AIP and MEN1 genetic abnorm...
