A functional study on novel genes involved in regulating aldosterone secretion in normal human zona glomerulosa and in aldosterone-producing adenomas

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Primary aldosteronism is the most common secondary cause of hypertension with a prevalence of about 10%. About half of PA cases are caused by aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA). Two APA subtypes, ZG-like and ZF-like APAs, have been described, according to the histological resemblance to normal zona glomerulosa (ZG) and zona fasciculata (ZF), underlying somatic mutations (KCNJ5 commonly found in ZF-like, CACN1AD,...
