Abstract excerpt
KCNJ5-mutant aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) represent a primary cause of primary aldosteronism, leading to severe secondary hypertension. However, the adrenal cellular heterogeneity and microenvironmental landscape of KCNJ5-mutant APAs remain to be characterized. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we analyzed three paired KCNJ5-mutant APAs and distal adrenal tissues (DATs), with...
