Introduction: Pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas is largely unknown thus, identification of genes specific for various types of pituitary tumors should enable better understanding of their biology.The aim of our study was to analyze differences in gene expression between functional (FA) and non-functional (NFA) pituitary adenomas. For this goal, we considered folate receptor (FOLR1) shown by previous study (Evans et al. 2003) to be overexpr...
