Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is associated with inactivating germline protein kinase A regulatory subunit type 1-alpha (PRKAR1A) mutations and loss of heterozygosity at the 17q22-24 locus in approximately 50% patients. PRKAR1A mutations are observed in both isolated PPNAD (iPPNAD) and Carney complex (CNC). Most mutations result in a functionally null-allele and exhibit...
