Abstract
Prior to genetic testing, the understanding of genetic endocrinopathies required the commitment and interest of astute clinicians treating patients with an interest in associating rare diseases. Conditions may have been described in only a single patient with a rare combination of diseases that required persistent and ongoing interest. Few have made contributions as important as J. Aidan Carney, M.D., Ph.D., in the field of endocrine surgery.
