Germline mutations in the MEN1 gene predispose to the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) syndrome; however, approximately 10-20% of patients with MEN1 do not have a detectable MEN1 mutation. A rat strain with multiple endocrine tumours, a phenotypic overlap of both MEN1 and MEN2, has been reported to have a homozygous germline p27 (CDKN1B) mutation. Recently, two MEN1 mutation-negative MEN1 syndrome patients have been identified to harbour a germline CDKN1B mutation. The recently identified gene AIP can also cause familial isolated pituitary adenoma, but no other specific tumour is associated with this syndrome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible contribution of CDKN1B and AIP germline mutations in a cohort of MEN1 mutation-negative MEN1 syndrome patients.
