The most frequent genetic alteration of familial isolated growth hormone producing pituitary neuroendocrine tumors is a germline mutation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP) gene. Various AIP mutations are already known; however, an AIP mutation in exon 6 (c.811_812del; p.Arg271Glyfs*16) has not been reported yet.
