Approximately 12% to 17% of MEN1 patients are diagnosed with the disease in the first two decades of life. Clinical evident disease appears uncommon before adolescence, with consensus guidelines currently recommending phenotype screening of confirmed MEN1 carriers commencing by age 5 years. A recent publication reviewed the recent literature in this area, that demonstrates that mortality is rare in children and young adults, whereas morbidity is not uncommon for various endocrine manifestations. In this presentation, the considerations in supporting and managing these younger patients will be discussed in detail.
