Overview

There are no established causes for adrenocortical carcinoma. The relatively increased incidence in childhood is mainly explained by germline TP53 mutations, which are the underlying genetic cause of ACC in more than 50% to 80% of children.

Causes

  • There are no established causes for adrenocortical carcinoma.
  • The relatively increased incidence in childhood is mainly explained by germline TP53 mutations, which are the underlying genetic cause of ACC in >50% to 80% of children.

Genetics

Hereditary syndromes associated with adrenocortical carcinoma are:

Associated conditions Gene mutations Clinical picture
Lynch syndrome[1]
Neurofibromatosis type 1
MEN1[2]
  • MENIN
Carney complex
BWS[3]
