Overview
Screening for multiple glomus tumors by genetic testing is recommended among individuals with a family history of glomangiomas (autosomal dominant inheritance).[1]
Screening
- Screening for multiple glomus tumors by genetic testing is recommended among individuals with a family history of glomangiomas (autosomal dominant inheritance).[1]
- Screening for genetic mutations in the glomulin gene helps in the diagnosis of approximately 70% of the patients with familial glomangiomas.[1]
