Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Pituitary adenomas are benign monoclonal neoplasms of the anterior pituitary gland, accounting for approximately 15% of intracranial tumors. Growth hormone (GH; 139250)-secreting tumors, which clinically result in acromegaly, comprise about 20% of all pituitary tumors and are the ...
Clinical Description OMIM Levin et al. (1974) reported 2 brothers with acromegaly confirmed by elevated serum GH levels and the finding of pituitary tumors. Both also had acanthosis nigricans.

Jones et al. (1984) reported an uncle and nephew with ...

Molecular genetics OMIM - Germline Mutations in the AIP Gene

In affected individuals from a large Finnish family with pituitary adenoma predisposition, Vierimaa et al. (2006) identified a heterozygous germline mutation in the AIP gene (Q14X; 605555.0001). Further screening ...
