Abstract excerpt
Germ-line protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory-subunit type-Ialpha (RIalpha; PRKAR1A)-inactivating mutations and loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) of its 17q22-24 locus have been found in Cushing syndrome (CS) caused by primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD). We examined whether somatic 17q22-24, PRKAR1A, or PKA changes are present in 44 sporadic adrenocortical tumors (29 adenomas and 15 cancers); 26 of...
