There doesn't appear to be a genetic predisposition, meaning the disease does not seem to run in families. Certain conditions have an increased association with PNETs. These include: Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Turcot syndrome and Gorlin syndrome.
These conditions include Cowden syndrome, Gorlin Syndrome, and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba Syndrome. Each of these conditions has additional distinct physical characteristics that are not associated with JP.
