Parental Origin of Gsα Mutations in the McCune-Albright Syndrome and in Isolated Endocrine Tumors

Abstract excerpt

Activating mutations of the Gsalpha gene are detected in different endocrine tumors, such as GH-secreting adenomas and toxic thyroid adenomas, and in hyperfunctioning glands from patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). There is increasing evidence that the Gsalpha gene is subjected to imprinting control and that Gsalpha imprinting plays a key role in the pathogenesis of different human diseases. The aim of...
