Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AI) may experience detrimental consequences due to a minimal cortisol excess sustained by adrenal adenoma. SNPs of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) modulate individual sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may interfere with the clinical presentation. OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of N363S, ER22/23EK and BclI SNPs in patients with AI with the general...
