Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the pathogenesis of adrenocortical tumors. The cAMP-dependent pathway is physiologically activated by ACTH in adrenocortical cells and different components of this cascade may be altered in some functioning adrenocortical tumors. Recently, mutations of the gene encoding the PKA type 1 A regulatory subunit (R1 A), PRKAR1A, associated with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at PRKAR1A locus, have...
