SDH-associated pituitary adenoma
26 December 2014Succinate dehydrogenase deficiency in pituitary adenoma; SDH-deficient pituitary adenoma
Germline mutations in the succinate dehydrogenase genes (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD) are established as causes of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, renal carcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. It has recently been suggested that pituitary adenomas may also be a component of this syndrome.
Pathogenic SDH mutation may occur in pituitary adenomas and can be identified by immunohistochemistry, but (...) -
