The landscape of molecular mechanism for aldosterone production in aldosterone-producing adenoma
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Primary aldosteronism is the most common form of secondary hypertension with a prevalence of 5-10% in hypertensive patients. Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a subtype of primary aldosteronism, and somatic mutations in KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, CACNA1D, CLCN2, or CTNNB1 were identified and recognized to drive aldosterone production and/or contribute to tumorigenesis in APA. Mutations of KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3,...
