KDM1A genotyping and expression in 146 sporadic somatotroph pituitary adenomas

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Unlike in GIP-dependent primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia, KDM1A genetic variations are not the cause of GIPR expression in somatotroph pituitary adenomas. Recurrent KDM1A haploinsufficiency, more frequently observed in GIPR-expressing adenomas, could be responsible for decreased KDM1A function resulting in transcriptional derepression on the GIPR locus.PMID:38330165 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvae013
