Glucocorticoid receptor (GR or NR3C1) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays an essential role in differentiation, development, inflammatory responses and energy balance and is implicated in several human diseases. Eleven germinal GR mutations have been described so far, responsible for glucocorticoid resistance with variable clinical presentation.We report original heterozygous GR mutations in three independent patients, which have been i...

Context: Primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH) with glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)-dependent Cushing’s syndrome is caused by ectopic expression of GIP receptor in the adrenal tissue. The bilateral nature of this adrenal disease suggests germline genetic predisposition. We aimed to identify the molecular driver event responsible for ectopic GIP receptor expression in PBMAH.Methods: We conducted an internationa...
