==Overview==
The most common cause of pheochromocytoma is sporadic mutations. Less common causes of pheochromocytoma include familial associations and association with syndromes. Familial pheochromocytoma may be caused by a [[mutation]] of either ''[[SDHD]],'' ''[[VHL]]'', ''[[SDHB]],'' ''[[RET proto-oncogene|RET]]'', ''[[NF1]]'' [[genes]].
 
==Causes==
===Life-threatening Causes===
* Pheochromocytoma due to any cause may be life-threatening which may result in death.
 
===Common Causes===
* In most cases of pheochromocytoma, the cause is unknown.
* Sporadic form is more common
 
===Less Common Causes===
Less common causes of pheochromocytoma include:
* Familial form
* Associated with syndromes- Neurofibromatosis 1, Von Hippel-Lindau disease, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2A and 2B
 
===Genetic Causes===
Pheochromocytoma of the familial type may be caused by a mutation in the following genes:
*[[RET gene|RET]] gene ([[MEN, type 2a|MEN 2A]], [[Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2|MEN 2B]] [[Syndrome|syndromes]])
*[[NF1|NF1 gene]]

==Overview==
Pheochromocytoma develops in called chromaffin cells, found in adrenal medulla which secrete adrenaline, noradrenaline.


Familial pheochromocytoma may be caused by a mutation of either ''[[VHL]]'', ''RET'', ''NF1'', ''[[SDHB]]'' or ''[[SDHD]]'' genes.

Overview

The most common cause of pheochromocytoma is sporadic mutations. Less common causes of pheochromocytoma include familial associations and association with syndromes. Familial pheochromocytoma may be caused by a mutation of either SDHD, VHL, SDHB, RET, NF1 genes.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

  • Pheochromocytoma due to any cause may be life-threatening which may result in death.

Common Causes

  • In most cases of pheochromocytoma, the cause is unknown.
  • Sporadic form is more common

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of pheochromocytoma include:

  • Familial form
  • Associated with syndromes- Neurofibromatosis 1, Von Hippel-Lindau disease, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2A and 2B

Genetic Causes

Pheochromocytoma of the familial type may be caused by a mutation in the following genes:


Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGL) susceptibility genes can be classified into the following clusters- [3] [4] [5]
