Genetic Aspects of Pituitary Adenomas
(2017-06) -
Genetic Testing in Hereditary Pituitary Tumors.
(2023-12)Genetic testing is becoming part of mainstream endocrinology. An increasing number of rare and not-so-rare endocrine diseases have an identifiable genetic cause, either at the germline or at the somatic level. Here we ... -
Genetics of Acromegaly and Gigantism.
(MDPI, 2021-03-29)Growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary tumours represent the most genetically determined pituitary tumour type. This is true both for germline and somatic mutations. Germline mutations occur in several known genes (AIP, ... -
Genetics of Pituitary Tumours.
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2019-10-07)Pituitary tumours are relatively common in the general population. Most often they occur sporadically, with somatic mutations accounting for a significant minority of somatotroph and corticotroph adenomas. Pituitary tumours ... -
Sporadic pituitary adenomas: the role of germline mutations and recommendations for genetic screening.
(2017-03)INTRODUCTION: Although most pituitary adenomas occur sporadically, these common tumors can present in a familial setting in approximately 5% of cases. Germline mutations in several genes with autosomal dominant (AIP, MEN1, ... -
