A deletion in the PRKAR1A gene is associated with Carney complex.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations of the PRKAR1A gene are an important cause of Carney complex (CC). The PRKAR1A gene encodes the type 1A regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. We have identified one mutation of PRKAR1A (553delG) in three members of the same family affected by CC. This mutation was not identified in six unaffected family members, 12 patients with sporadic cardiac myxoma and 100 non-related healthy...
