Introduction: Germline inactivating mutations of the protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit RIα (the PRKAR1A gene) cause primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD); other cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling defects have been associated with bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia (BAH), cortisol-producing adenoma (CPA) and related lesions. Recently, PRKACA somatic mutations were detected in single, sporadic CPAs in approximately 40% of patients wi...
