Pronostic and therapeutic consequences of Gs alpha mutations in somatotroph adenomas.

Abstract excerpt

Human pituitary somatotroph adenomas can be associated with mutations of the s alpha-subunit of G proteins. However, the impact of the gsp mutations on the tumoral phenotype is not well understood at present. This study aims to determine whether the detection of this mutation could impact on the management of acromegalic patients. We examined 30 acromegalic patients; 8 were gsp positive, and 22 were gsp negative....
