MEN1 (Werner syndrome)

MEN1, or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1, is a genetic condition that leads to tumors in hormone-producing glands, particularly the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas. These tumors can cause various health issues, including hormonal imbalances. It's important to note that MEN1 is distinct from Werner syndrome, which is a different genetic disorder characterized by premature aging and increased cancer risk. MEN1 requires monitoring and management to address the tumors and their effects, and it’s often inherited in families, highlighting the importance of genetic counseling for affected individuals.
