Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Mutations of the KCNJ5 gene have recently been identified in patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA). OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to investigate the expression and mutations of the KCNJ5 gene in Japanese patients with APA. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: We sequenced KCNJ5 cDNA and measured KCNJ5 mRNA levels in 23 patients with APA operated on at Gunma University Hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:...
