Germline mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase subunit genes SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD are the most frequent causes of inherited phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas. Insufficient information regarding penetrance and phenotypic variability hinders optimum management of mutation carriers. Our aim was to provide estimates of penetrance and genotype–phenotype correlations in a large cohort of succinate dehydrogenase mutation carriers. Ausführliche Beschreibung
