| Abstract | MEN-1 is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by involvement of parathyroid, enteropancreatic endocrine tissues and the anterior pituitary gland. Malignant insulinomas are rare, and therefore, there are few data regarding their clinical presentation and long-term prognosis. In this report we present a large family with malignant insulinoma and hyperparathyroidism with MEN-1 gene mutation analysis. A large family (three generations) with several members affected were evaluated for clinical and biochemical characteristic of MEN-1 syndrome. Genetic analysis for MEN1 gene was carried out in all family members using PCR amplification of coding regions followed by direct sequencing. In three brothers that presented with hypoglycemia, insulinoma was confirmed and two were malignant according to pathology and surgery report. Two of them had hyperparathyroidism too. Mutation screening revealed the presence of a two nucleotide deletion in the exon 2 (c199_200del2). In the current study, the deletion happens early in the sequence, and obviously results in a non-functional gene product. However, it will be helpful to further examine somatic mutations and other genetic markers for a more precise study of genotype-phenotype correlation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
