Résumé
Wermer's syndrome or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type-1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, related to mutations in MEN1, an approximately 10-kb gene encoding menin, localized on chromosome 11q13. The Endocrine Tumor Group (GTE) has set up a MEN1 observatory of 1001 regularly followed MEN1 cases. This observatory aims at registering and evaluating MEN1 cases in a large cohort. Any new study on a particular unexplored aspect of the disease may be proposed by a physician to the GTE. This article describes the way to diagnose a new MEN1 case and to register it. Procedures for participating in a new study are presented. Some original results are quoted.
