Over the past two decades, there has been a significant growth in articles focusing on the genetics of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). We used bibliometric methods to investigate the historical changes and trend in PPGL research. There was a total of 1263 articles published in English from 2002 to 2022 included in our study. The number of annual publications and citations in this field has been increasing in the past 20 years. Furthermore, most of the publications originated from the European countries and the United States. The co-occurrence analysis showed close cooperation between different countries, institutions, or authors. The dual-map discipline analysis revealed that majority articles focused on four disciplines: #2 (Medicine, Medical, Clinical), #4 (Molecular, Biology, Immunology), #5 (Health, Nursing, Medicine), and #8 (Molecular, Biology, Genetics). The hotspot analysis revealed the keywords that have been landmark for PPGL genetics research in different time periods, and there was continued interest in gene mutations, especially on SDHX family genes. In conclusion, this study displays the current status of research and future trends in the genetics of PPGL. In future, more in-depth research should concentrate on crucial mutation genes and their specific mechanisms to assist in molecular target therapy. It is hoped that this study may help to provide directions for future research on genes and PPGL.
