Zinc transporter somatic gene mutations cause primary aldosteronism

2022-07-25

Abstract excerpt

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of endocrine hypertension and effects one in 50 adults. PA is characterized by inappropriately elevated aldosterone production via renin-independent mechanisms. Driver somatic mutations for aldosterone excess have been found in approximately 90% of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). Using next-generation sequencing, we identified recurrent in-frame deletions i...
