Overview

Screening for multiple glomus tumors by genetic testing is recommended among individuals with a family history of glomangiomas (autosomal dominant inheritance).[1]

Screening

  • Screening for multiple glomus tumors by genetic testing is recommended among individuals with a family history of glomangiomas (autosomal dominant inheritance).[1]
  • Screening for genetic mutations in the glomulin gene helps in the diagnosis of approximately 70% of the patients with familial glomangiomas.[1]
