No evidence of adverse fertility and pregnancy outcomes in patients with unrecognised and untreated multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1
Clinical Endocrinology Nov 01, 2018
Thompson M, et al. - In a multigenerational cohort of the Tasman 1 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (MEN 1) kindred, researchers characterized the effect of unrecognized and untreated MEN 1 on fertility and pregnancy outcomes. All MEN 1 positive (MEN 1+, n=63) and MEN 1 negative (MEN 1-, n=75) descendants born between 1825 and 1951 of a common founder were included. It was noted that MEN 1+ parents had more children and live births with no excess of stillbirths compared to MEN 1- parents. Findings revealed that MEN 1+ parents had a similar number of MEN 1+ and MEN 1- offspring. They did not find any adverse impact of MEN 1 on patient fertility overall. However, in a subset of patients with pituitary disease, MEN 1-related pathology might impair reproductive potential.
