Consensus Statement on next-generation-sequencing-based diagnostic testing of hereditary phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas

As a large number of genes have been implicated in the development of hereditary phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is ideally suited for carrying out genetic screening. This Consensus Statement proposes specific recommendations for the use of diagnostic NGS in hereditary PPGLs.
