Identification of the first germline HRPT2 whole-gene deletion in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism.

abstract：:Two female patients with functioning adrenocortical carcinomas had plasma ACTH detectable by RIA at presentation. In both patients there was evidence for biological activity of ACTH. There was no evidence for an ectopic source of ACTH, nor for a pituitary tumour. Urinary steroid analysis showed patterns of multiple ho...

Although the underlying aetiology is poorly understood, it is generally accepted that excess of oestrogens and deficit of androgens are involved in the pathogenesis. Furthermore, adiposity as well as the GH/IGF-I axis may play a role. In this study, we elucid...
