Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to analyze the sequence and the expression of CRF-BP mRNA in ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas. Direct sequencing analysis revealed no apparent mutations in the CRF-BP mRNA. Thus, we conclude that mutations in the coding region of the CRF-BP gene are not involved in the pathogenesis of Cushing's disease. However, using a semiquantitative PCR approach coamplifying the house-keeping gene...
