Abstract excerpt
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)-dependent Cushing's syndrome (CS) results from the ectopic expression of non-mutated GIP receptor (hGIPR) in the adrenal cortex. We evaluated whether mutations or polymorphisms in the regulatory region of the GIPR gene could lead to this aberrant expression. We studied 9.0kb upstream and 1.3kb downstream of the GIPR gene putative promoter (pProm) by sequencing leukocyte DNA...
