Abstract excerpt
Pacak-Zhuang syndrome is caused by mutations in the EPAS1 gene, which encodes for one of the three hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (HIFα) paralogs HIF2α and is associated with defined but varied phenotypic presentations including neuroendocrine tumors and polycythemia. However, the mechanisms underlying the complex genotype-phenotype correlations remain incompletely understood. Here, we devised a quantitative...
