Carney complex with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing syndrome with PRKAR1A gene variant: a case report.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease (PPNAD) is an autosomal dominant condition and a rare cause of Cushing syndrome, independent of pituitary origin, and is adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) independent. Carney complex PPNAD (cPPNAD) is associated with inactivating mutations of the regulatory subunit type 1A of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PRKAR1A) gene which is found in more than 70% of Carney...
