Type 1 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Cohort Study

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Type 1 - Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome (MEN1,) is an autosomal dominant disorder secondary to MEN1 mutations that predisposes carriers to endocrine tumors. The MEN1 gene located on chromosome 11q13 encodes menin, a 610 amino acid protein expressed in all tissues tested. Menin is a scaffold protein which interacts with a large number of intracellular molecules. MEN1 disease may display various clinical associations The tumors mainly develop from endocrine tissues and may arise from parathyroid glands, duodeno-pancreas, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and at a lower frequency from the bronchi and thymus. The penetrance is very progressive but ultimately high during a lifespan. Although the syndrome was discovered in 1903 by Erdheim and properly documented in 1954 by Wermer, it was only in the 1970s that the variety of clinical presentations was acknowledged and first attempts to codify treatments were made. Most published studies deals with selected and small size populations. Thus, many aspects of the natural history of MEN1 remains unknown as well as the optimal care of patients. In addition, although advances in genetics improved the diagnosis of MEN1, there are still clinical forms whose attachment to the syndrome is difficult: atypical, paucisymptomatic, forms the negative genetic diagnosis (10%). These clinical forms need to be clarified to ensure optimum support. This cohort relies on the Groupe d'étude des Tumeurs Endocrines (GTE) network for MEN1, created in February 1991, and brings together clinical centers in France and Belgium (n=80) as well as the four genetics laboratories in charge of MEN1 diagnosis. It aims at improving the knowledge of the MEN1mainly in describing: its evolution over time globally and according to the initial presentation, ( particularly accounting the risk of the occurrence of secondary MEN1 related or unrelated tumors, and death) the genotype-phenotype correlations and heritability of the disease the real life management of patients and its impact on cure and survival for each type of MEN1-related tumor the impact of the NEM on the patients' daily lives, their perception of the disease and their satisfaction with their care
