Genetic characterization of a rare case of pheochromocytoma in a pulmonary transplant patient by Stéfanie Parisien-La Salle, Florence Perreault, Gilles Corbeil, Julie Morisset, Charles Poirier, Catherine Beauregard, Agnès Räkel, Marjorie Labrecque, Martine Tétreault, Martine Tétreault, Christian Cohade, Pasquale Ferraro, Isabelle Bourdeau

“…Consequently, the patient underwent laparoscopic right adrenalectomy, confirming the PCC diagnosis.Genetic studies1) Germline PPGL multigene panel: After consent, the patient underwent a panel of 14 susceptibility genes for PPGLs that revealed no pathogenic variants. 2) Somatic genetic analysis for EPAS1 gene found no variants. However, tumoral RNA sequencing unveiled activation of the HIF pathway.ConclusionWe describe a rare case of PCC in a pulmonary transplant recipient, with genetic analyses showing no germline pathogenic variants and no somatic variants in the EPAS1 gene. …”
