Somatic Mutations in MCOLN3 Are Associated With Aldosterone-Producing Adenomas
7 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism is a common but underdiagnosed cause of endocrine hypertension that contributes to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by renin-independent hyperaldosteronism that originates from adrenal lesions—the majority of which are found to harbor aldosterone-driver somatic mutations in genes encoding ion-transporting proteins. These mutations disrupt...
