Abstract excerpt
OBJECT: This comparative study clarified the clinical characteristics and in vitro steroidogenic activities of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) harboring ATPase or CACNA1D gene mutations. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: Genetic testing was performed on 159 unilateral APAs. Somatic ATPase and CACNA1D gene mutations were analyzed in 42 APA tissues without KCNJ5 gene mutations. RESULTS: ATP1A1, ATP2B3, and CACNA1D...
