RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Studies on incidence rates of first-time colonic diverticular disease are few, and population-based estimates of lifetime risk are lacking. In this observational study, the incidence, admission rates and lifetime risks of hospitalization and surgery for diverticular disease were investigated. METHODS: Considering the entire Swedish population as an open cohort, incidence and admission rates, and lifetime risk estimates (considering death as a competing risk) of hospitalization and surgery for diverticular disease were calculated using data from cross-linked national registers and population statistics from 1987 to 2010. RESULTS: In total, there were 144 107 hospital admissions for diverticular disease in 95 049 individual patients. Of these, 17 599 were admissions with bowel resection or stoma formation in 16 824 patients. The total number of person-years in the population during the study period was 213 949 897. Age-standardized incidence rates were 47·4 (95 per cent c.i. 47·1 to 47·7) for first-time hospitalization with diverticular disease and 8·4 (8·2 to 8·5) per 100 000 person-years for diverticular disease surgery. The corresponding admission rates (including readmissions) were 70·8 (70·4 to 71·2) and 8·7 (8·6 to 8·9) per 100 000 person-years. Following an increase in 1990-1994, rates stabilized. Based on incidence and mortality rates from 2000 to 2010, the estimated remaining lifetime risk of hospitalization from 30 years of age was 3·1 per cent in men and 5·0 per cent in women. The corresponding risk of surgery was 0·5 per cent in men and 0·8 per cent in women. CONCLUSION: Diverticular disease is a common reason for hospital admission, particularly in women, but rates are stable and the lifetime risk of surgery is low.

RESUMO

The pheochromocytomas are an important cause of secondary hypertension. Although pheochromocytoma susceptibility may be associated with germline mutations in the tumor-suppressor genes VHL and NF1 and in the proto-oncogene RET, the genetic basis for most cases of nonsyndromic familial pheochromocytoma is unknown. Recently, pheochromocytoma susceptibility has been associated with germline SDHD mutations. Germline SDHD mutations were originally described in hereditary paraganglioma, a dominantly inherited disorder characterized by vascular tumors in the head and the neck, most frequently at the carotid bifurcation. The gene products of two components of succinate dehydrogenase, SDHC and SDHD, anchor the gene products of two other components, SDHA and SDHB, which form the catalytic core, to the inner-mitochondrial membrane. Although mutations in SDHC and in SDHD may cause hereditary paraganglioma, germline SDHA mutations are associated with juvenile encephalopathy, and the phenotypic consequences of SDHB mutations have not been defined. To investigate the genetic causes of pheochromocytoma, we analyzed SDHB and SDHC, in familial and in sporadic cases. Inactivating SDHB mutations were detected in two of the five kindreds with familial pheochromocytoma, two of the three kindreds with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma susceptibility, and 1 of the 24 cases of sporadic pheochromocytoma. These findings extend the link between mitochondrial dysfunction and tumorigenesis and suggest that germline SDHB mutations are an important cause of pheochromocytoma susceptibility.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To characterize a family with hereditary paraganglioma, and to search for germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) tumour suppressor gene and the ret proto-oncogene. DESIGN: Patient records and histopathological reports were reviewed. Available tumour samples were reinvestigated using immunohistochemical techniques. The VHL gene was investigated by single strand conformational polymorphism analysis of PCR products amplified from exons 1, 2 and 3 and the 3' untranslated region. The ret gene was analysed by amplifying and sequencing exons 10, 11 and 16. PATIENTS: A family with paragangliomas in three consecutive generations was investigated. RESULTS: The affected individuals were found to have multiple extra-adrenal paragangliomas. All three affected individuals had retroperitoneal tumours, and two also had paraganglioma in the neck. No mutations of the VHL or ret genes were detected. CONCLUSIONS: The described family may represent a novel dominantly inherited neuroendocrine tumour syndrome.
