Pituitary adenoma 5, multiple types

Summary

Both familial and sporadic pituitary adenomas have been found to be caused by germline mutation in the CDH23 gene. Familial pituitary adenoma types include growth hormone (GH)-secreting and nonfunctional tumors. Sporadic pituitary adenoma types include GH-secreting, nonfunctional, prolactin (PRL)-secreting, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-secreting, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting, and plurihormonal (GH and TSH) tumors. For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of pituitary adenomas, see PITA1 (102200). [from OMIM]
