Introduction: In recent years, more attention is driven to the cause of hereditary forms of pituitary adenomas. Although for most cases causal genes are not discovered yet, AIP mutations are the most prevalent.Materials and Methods: Case descriptions, high-parallel sequencing using a gene panel (MEN1, CDKN1B, PRKAR1A, GNAS, AIP, SDHA, SDHB, SDHS, SDHD, PRKCA, CDKN2C, CDKN2A, POU1F1, PTTG2).Case description: Index ...

Introduction: Most of the work on the analysis of molecular genetic defects in pituitary adenomas devoted to the study of 1–2 candidate genes. The high-performance parallel sequencing is more promising.Materials and Methods: There were a total of 26 families (58 patients, 36 (62.1%) men and 22 (37.9%) women) with pituitary adenomas secretion of various types. The number of families with homogenous type was 17 (somatotropinomas 13, prolactinomas 2, c...
