Overview
Causes
- Occasionally, GI carcinoids occur in association with inherited syndromes, such as MEN1 and NF1.[1]
- In sporadic GI carcinoids, numerous chromosomal imbalances have been found by comparative genome hybridization analysis. Gains involving chromosomes 5, 14, 17 (especially 17q), and 19 and losses involving chromosomes 11 (especially 11q) and 18 appear to be the most common.
