Genetics of Carney Triad: Recurrent Losses at Chromosome 1 but Lack of Germline Mutations in Genes Associated with Paragangliomas and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Abstract

We conclude that CT is not due to SDH-inactivating or KIT- and PDGFRA-activating mutations. GISTs and PGLs in CT are associated with chromosome 1 and other changes that appear to participate in tumor progression and point to their common genetic cause.
