Although being a dominantly inherited monogenic disease, disease phenotypes are unpredictable and differ even among members of the same family. There is growing evidence for the role of modifier genes in the alteration of the course of this disease. However, genome-wide screening data are still lacking. In our study, we addressed the different outcomes of the disease, focusing on pituitary and adrenocortical tumors. By means of exome sequencing we identified the affected signaling pathways that segregated with those symptoms. Most significantly, we identified damaging alterations in numerous structural genes responsible for cell adhesion and migration. Additionally, in the case of pituitary tumors, genes related to neuronal function, survival, and morphogenesis were repeatedly identified, while in patients with adrenocortical tumors, TLR10, which is involved in the regulation of the innate immunity, was commonly modified. Our data show that using exome screening, it is possible to find signatures which correlate with the given clinical MEN1 outcomes, providing evidence that studies addressing modifier effects in MEN1 are reasonable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25021065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]],"date-time":"2024-01-15T08:52:03Z","timestamp":1705308723000},"page":"1065","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Whole-Exome Screening and Analysis of Signaling Pathways in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 Patients with Different Outcomes: Insights into Cellular Mechanisms and Possible Functional Implications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7871-9347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Skalniak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 31-066 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5247-9760","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Trofimiuk-M\u00fcldner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 30-688 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8396-1488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Surmiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 31-066 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5970-238X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justyna","family":"Toto\u0144-\u017bura\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Medical Genomics\u2014OMICRON, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 31-034 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agata","family":"Jabrocka-Hybel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 30-688 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicja","family":"Hubalewska-Dydejczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Jagiellonian University Medical College, 30-688 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1210\/endrev\/bnaa031","article-title":"Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1: Latest Insights","volume":"42","author":"Brandi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Endocr.
