Population-Based Evidence of Familial Clustering in Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumors: Insights From the Utah Population Database
Our findings demonstrate the significant familial clustering of pulmonary carcinoid tumors in a large, population-based resource, supporting a potential heritable contribution independent of MEN1 syndrome. These results justify further genetic and environmental investigations in high-risk pedigrees to identify susceptibility loci and modifiable exposures.
