Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Aberrant cAMP signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of somatotropinomas. The aim of the study was to screen acromegalic patients for the presence of variants of phosphodiesterase type 11A (PDE11A) gene, which have been recently identified in adrenocortical and testicular tumors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We sequenced the PDE11A gene-coding region in 78 acromegalic patients and 110 controls....
