Mutations in the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor Interacting Protein (AIP) gene have been described in about 15% of FIPA families and rarely in early onset sporadic pituitary adenomas. Among the AIP mutations reported so far, the R304X represents, after the Finnish founder mutation Q14X, the second most common one.Me...
