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.

#3005 Comparison between Tang and WHO 5th Edition Grade Classification for Goblet Cell Adenocarcinomas
Introduction: Appendiceal GCAs (previously Goblet Cell Carcinoids) are composed of cells with secretory phenotypes. Several grading systems to predict behaviour are available (e.g.Tang). The latest WHO 5th edition adopted a grading system similar to colon adenocarcinomas.

#3007 An mRNA-based Classifier Identifies PanNETs with Different Clinicopathological Characteristics
Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that varies from indolent to highly aggressive diseases. Previous studies have suggested alterations of ATRX/DAXX as biomarkers of dismal prognosis, yet inconclusive data (especially in the metastatic setting) prevent those biomarkers to be used as routine clinical tests.

#2739 Epigenetic Landscape of Pancreatic Neuro-Endocrine Tumors Reveals Distinct Cells of Origin and Means of Tumor Progression
Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) arise from cells of the Islets of Langerhans. The majority of PanNETs are non-functional and their cell of origin cannot be defined analysing specific hormone production. Cell of origin assessment has proven importance to identify risk factors, prevent tumour development, and tailor treatment in many malignancies. Recent data on super-enhancer signatures has suggested a potential origin of PanNET from α- or β-cells. We and others have shown that distinct epigenetic profiles assessed by DNA methylation (DNAme) characterize genomic and prognostic groups of PanNET.
