Paraganglioma - Pheochromocytoma Genetic Testing Algorithm

Pheochromocytomas are paragangliomas of the adrenal medulla that generally secrete catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine). They are often associated with certain hereditary syndromes, and all patients diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma should be referred for genetic testing. An initial genetic workup begins with a clinical evaluation or directed testing if a known familial variant exists.
