Frequency of familial pituitary adenoma syndromes among patients with functioning pituitary adenomas in a reference outpatient clinic

ConclusionWe found a frequency of familial PA similar to that previously described, as well as a similar frequency ofAIP mutations among FIPA families. An active search of the affected family members was able to identify one case of Cushing ´s disease. Patients should be aware of pituitary disease’s clinical picture to identify possibly affected family members.
