Overview
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of carotid body tumor include genetic mutation and chronic hypoxia.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of carotid body tumor, include:[1]
- Genetic mutations in the following genes:
- MEN 2A
- MEN 2B
- RET
- VHL
- NF1
- SDH subunits (SDHD, SDHB, and SDHC)
- Chronic hypoxia has been observed to be associated with hyperplastic form of carotid body tumor.[2][3]
