Introduction: AIP mutations are responsible for 15-30% of cases of familial isolated pituitary adenomas. The pathophysiology that drives this AIP-related pituitary tumorigenesis is not fully understood. We developed a pituitary-specific Aip knockout (KO) mouse model, which mostly recapitulates the human phenotype.Aims: To performed comparative gene expression analysis of Aip-KO mouse pituitary tumours and AIP mutation positive ...
