P720R USP8 Mutation Is Associated with a Better Responsiveness to Pasireotide in ACTH-Secreting PitNETs
16 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the ubiquitin specific peptidase 8 (USP8) gene have been associated with higher levels of somatostatin (SS) receptor subtype 5 (SSTR5) in adrenocorticotroph hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs). However, a correlation between the USP8 mutational status and favourable responses to pasireotide, the somatostatin multi-receptor ligand acting especially on SSTR5, has...
