Aldosterone-Producing Cell Clusters Frequently Harbor Somatic Mutations and Accumulate With Age in Normal Adrenals
12 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have revealed the frequent presence of aldosterone-producing cell clusters (APCCs) harboring somatic mutations in aldosterone-regulating genes in adrenals from Americans without defined hypertension status. OBJECTIVE: Determine the frequency and somatic mutation status of APCCs in a Japanese nonhypertensive cohort....
