Sindromi feocromocitoma/paraganglioma familiari

Abstract

Le sindromi feocromocitoma/paraganglioma familiari, o sindromi PGL, sono caratterizzate dalla presenza di questi tumori in soggetti portatori di mutazioni germinali dei geni SDHB, SDHC e SDHD, che codificano tre delle quattro subunita della succinodeidrogenasi mitocondriale. Nonostante la spiccata variabilita clinica, vi sono elementi distintivi delle singole sindromi. La sindrome PGL1, legata a mutazioni del gene SDHD, e la piu frequente ed e caratterizzata principalmente da paragangliomi della regione testalcollo, soprattutto tumori glomici. Frequente e l’associazione con feocromocitomi o paragangliomi extraperitoneali secernenti catecolamine. La malattia si sviluppa solo se la mutazione e trasmessa per via paterna (fenomeno dell’imprinting). Mostra alta penetranza e i tumori sono quasi sem pre benigni. La sindrome PGL4, legata a mutazioni del gene SDHB, si presenta generalmente con paragangliomi retroperitoneali che si rivelano maligni nel 30% dei casi. La sindrome PGL3, legata a mutazioni del gene SDHC, e piuttosto rara, si caratterizza per la presenza di tumori glomici spesso monolaterali e solo di recente sono stati descritti anche paragangliomi extraperitoneali secernenti catecolamine. Non sono stati finora descritti tumori maligni in questa sindrome. E stato dimostrato che il rapporto tra forme familiari di feocromocitoma lparaganglioma e forme sporadiche e di circa 3 a 7. Nei pazienti portatori di tali lesioni, pertanto, viene oggi consigliata l’analisi dei geni di suscettibilita che, in aggiunta a quelli da tempo noti, come VHL, RET e NF1, include anche SDHB, SDHD e SDHC. Il quadro clinico di presentazione puo guidare l’analisi genetica, indicando la sequenza dei geni da analizzare.
