Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) leads to Cushing syndrome (CS) and is often associated with Carney complex (CNC). Genetic alterations of the type 1-alpha regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PRKAR1A) and phosphodiesterase 11A4 (PDE11A) genes have been found in PPNAD. Recent studies have demonstrated that beta-catenin mutations are frequent in adrenocortical...
