Acinic cell carcinoma causes
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Ramyar Ghandriz MD[2]
Overview
There may be a co-incidence with some inherited genetic situations, like Cowden syndrome and acinic cell carcinom. recurrent abnormality of cytogeic t(12;15) ETV6-NRTK3 is also reported in cancerous cells.
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of acinic cell carcinoma may include [1][2][3] :
- Cowden syndrome
- previous radiation exposure
Genetic Causes
- acinic cell carcinoma is caused by a mutation in the BRCA-1 gene.[4]
- T(12;15)(p13;q25)ETV6-NTRK3 is now proven to be the gold standard of acinic cell carcinoma and may be a related case.[5]
