Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Germline mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein gene (AIP) have been identified in young patients (age ≤30 years old) with sporadic pituitary macroadenomas. Otherwise, there are few data concerning the prevalence of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) mutations in such a population. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the prevalence of both AIP and MEN1 genetic abnormalities (mutations...
