Germline Mutation in KIF1Bβ Gene Associated with Loss of Heterozygosity: Usefulness of Next-Generation Sequencing in the Genetic Screening of Patients with Pheochromocytoma

Germline Mutation in KIF1Bβ Gene Associated with Loss of Heterozygosity: Usefulness of Next-Generation Sequencing in the Genetic Screening of Patients with Pheochromocytoma

The genetic approach of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas has changed in the last two decades. Nowadays, we know that more than 40% of patients have a germline mutation in one of the susceptibility genes identified to date. Our aim is to underline how genetic diagnosis by next-generation sequenci...
