A heritable predisposition to pituitary tumors.

Pituitary - 1 Jun 2010

Couldwell William T, Cannon-Albright Lisa

Abstract excerpt

Pituitary tumors are prevalent in the general population, with a frequency of nearly 1 in 5. The cause of most pituitary tumors remains unknown, although a genetic contribution is recognized for some. We analyzed the Utah Population Data Base (UPDB), a resource combining a computerized genealogy of the Utah population with a statewide tumor registry, to investigate familial clustering of pituitary tumors. We...
