#930 Distinct Expression of Splicing Variants of the Human MEN1 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1) Gene in Various Pituitary Adenomas

Introduction: MEN1 is an autosomal-dominant tumor syndrome characterized by the occurrence of tumors in multiple endocrine tissues, including parathyroid, enteropancreatic neuroendocrine and anterior pituitary. The MEN1 gene consists of 10 exons transcribed into a 610 a.a. protein. It was reported that heterogeneity of human MEN1 gene transcripts related to variation in their 5’ UTR. Six distinct exsons1 (e1A-e1F) were isolated using RNA from thymus, pancreas and kidney.
