A Novel Hereditary Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Syndrome Associated with Biallelic Inactivation of the Glucagon Receptor Abstract #1253
Introduction: Hereditary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are associated with 4 known autosomal dominant syndromes including MEN1, vHL disease, NF1, and TS. Glucagon receptor (GCGR) inactivation in human (Mahvash disease) has been associated with asymptomatic hyperglucagonemia, α-cell hyperplasia, and PanNET, and may represent a new hereditary syndrome.
Aim(s): We identified an index case with suspected Mahvash disease (MD) and collected information from 44 family members in 4 generations and genotyped the GCGR in 10 family members.
Materials and methods: The mutant GCGR transcriptions in were evaluated by mRNA/cDNA sequencing.

#2135 Is the Classification of Functioning-PanNET/Non-Functioning PanNET Properly? Insulinoma/Non-Insulinoma Is More Suitable to Distinguish the Clinicopathological and Prognosis Difference of Localized Insulinoma
Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET) is classified into Functioning (F-PanNET) and Non-functioning (NF-PanNET) by hormone secretion. But insulinoma is slowly proliferating with unique features compared with Non-insulinoma F-PanNET (NiF-PanNET).

#2215 Development of Multiplex Biomarker Assay to Subtype Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) with Distinct Prognosis and Mutations
Introduction: Overall 5-year survival for PanNETs ranges from 25-100%. The treatment paradigm for PanNETs largely based upon grades, which is significantly heterogeneous. We previously defined three molecular subtypes (distributed grades) of PanNETs using PanNETassigner signature. There is an unmet clinical need for prognostic and predictive biomarkers and clinically-relevant assays to complement grade and improve patient stratification.

#2093 Genetic Analysis Identifies Subgroups of Small Well-Differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors with Different Risk for Liver Metastases
Introduction: Small size well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) behave non-aggressively. However, a limited subset progresses with liver metastases.
