Pituitary adenoma 3, multiple types

Synonyms: PITUITARY ADENOMA 3, ACTH-SECRETING, SOMATIC; PITUITARY ADENOMA 3, GROWTH HORMONE-SECRETING, SOMATIC

Summary

Somatic mutations in the GNAS gene have been found predominantly in GH-secreting pituitary adenomas but also in ACTH-secreting adenomas. Mutations in the GNAS gene have been found in about 40% of sporadic somatotrophin adenomas (summary by Mete and Lopes, 2017). For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pituitary adenomas, see PITA1 (102200). [from OMIM]
