Overview
- Numerous genetic disorders are associated with cardiac tumors however, till now no direct causes have been identified.
Causes
- Many genetic conditions are strongly associated with a large number of heart tumors. Some of them are as follows:[1]
| Tumor | Syndrome | Gene Associated with syndrome |
|---|---|---|
| Rhabdomyoma | Tuberous Sclerosis | TSC1 or hamartin
TSC2 or tuberin |
| Fibroma | Gorlin Syndrome | PATCHED gene |
| Myxoma | Carney Complex | Inactivating mutation of PRKARA1A
Activating pathogenic variant of PRKACA gene |
| Paraganglioma | Carney triad | No known gene associations |
| Paraganglioma | Hereditary Paraganglioma | Mutation of succinate dehydrogenase subunit
SDHAF2 gene, and possibly MAX gene but these mutations are rare |
| Paraganglioma | Von Hippel Lindau | VHL gene |
| Paraganglioma | Neurofibromatosis type 1 | NF1 gene |
