Genetic counselling is an important part of management, with a lack of evidence surrounding an optimal approach in Aboriginal Australian populations. Our case surrounds a remote-dwelling 48-year-old Aboriginal Australian female who was reviewed by an inpatient endocrine team in 2020 for persistent hypercalcaemia on a background of a parathyroidectomy in 2011 for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), while she was admitted to a local hospital for acute chronic abdominal pain. Relevant medical history included multiple pulmonary embolisms\/deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, right heart failure, human T-lymphotropic virus 1, recurrent abdominal pain, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disorder. Gastroscopies from 2013 and 2015 demonstrated chronic gastritis with hundreds of gastric polyps. Subsequent laboratory studies, neuroendocrine tumour (NET) screening, and CT imaging demonstrated a recurrence of PHPT and a new diagnosis of Zollinger\u2013Ellison syndrome. A 68-gallium-DOTATATE PET\/CT was in keeping with metastatic NET. Pituitary studies were normal. Genetic testing confirmed a rare heterozygous variant of\n c.207dupC in exon 2<\/jats:italic>\n of the\n MEN1<\/jats:italic>\n gene. Treatment was symptom based due to terminal comorbidities. Genetic counselling was attempted; however, cultural and logistical barriers were identified and the family declined further testing. Unfortunately, she died in 2021 from multifactorial respiratory failure. This case highlights the need for better approaches to genetic counselling systems for remote Aboriginal Australians and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and the challenges faced in remote areas in making such rare diagnoses.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Learning points<\/jats:title>\n \n \n Remote healthcare systems often lack access to adequate specialist care, resulting in delayed diagnosis of rare conditions and leading to morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n Further research and work need to be done to provide culturally appropriate genetic counselling systems in remote Aboriginal Australians.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n \n A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose\n MEN1<\/jats:italic>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n \n Consider\n MEN1<\/jats:italic>\n in any patient diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism, with age <40, and\/or with the presence of multiglandular disease or with the presence of Zollinger\u2013Ellison syndrome.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n \n MEN1<\/jats:italic>\n may be under-recognized in Aboriginal Australians.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/edm-24-0004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T14:26:07Z","timestamp":1727447167000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["First reported case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 in an Australian Aboriginal"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8605-0525","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Edward","family":"Mignone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirsten","family":"Neal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alice Springs Hospital, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Best Practice and Research.
