IntroductionAIP is a predisposing gene for GH/PRL-secreting PitNETs. Clinically non-functioning PitNETs (NFPT) occasionally occur in the setting of AIP germline mutations, sometimes arising from Pit-1 lineages. However, AIP overexpression has been observed in unselected NFPT and associations with the gonadotroph phenotype and/or tumour aggressiveness were suggested. We wished to evaluate the significance of AIP expression in gonadotroph tumours defined b...
