The Biology of Normal Zona Glomerulosa And Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma: Pathological Implications

Abstract excerpt

The identification of several germline and somatic ion channel mutations in aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) and detection of cell clusters that can be responsible for excess aldosterone production, as well as the isolation of autoantibodies activating the angiotensin II type 1 receptor, have rapidly advanced the understanding of the biology of primary aldosteronism (PA), particularly that of APA.
