Multiple endocrine adenomatosis: in support of the common origin theories.
Herein we give clinical support to the theory of a common origin of multiple endocrine adenomatosis. Accurate clinical evaluation of a patient suspected to have endocrine neoplasia requires the search for a much wider range of potential endocrine tumors. Such an approach is now made possible by the radioimmunoassay. Chromosome patterns and histocompatibility antigens are reviewed in a family with the disease.
