The description of new genes linked to familial forms of PCC/PGLs, such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex subunits, KIF1Bβ, EGLN1, TMEM127, and MAX, added to the well-known PCC familial syndrome (MEN2, VHL, and neurofibromatosis type 1) presents new challenges for diagnosis. The gene discussed is EGLN1; the disease is adrenal gland pheochromocytoma.
