Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndromes are inherited disorders – This means that they can be passed down in families. MEN disorders cause more than one gland of the body’s endocrine (gland) system to develop growths. The affected glands then produce abnormally increased amounts of hormones, the body’s chemical messengers, which in turn cause a variety of different symptoms. Each growth may occur alone or independently of MEN. |
