Activation of cyclic AMP signaling leads to different pathway alterations in lesions of the adrenal cortex caused by germline PRKAR1A defects versus those due to somatic GNAS mutations

ABSTRACT: PRKAR1A inactivating mutations are responsible for primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) whereas somatic GNAS activating mutations cause macronodular disease in the context of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), ACTH-independent hyperplasia (AIMAH) and, rarely, cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA). The whole-genome expression profile (WGEP) of normal (pooled) adrenals, PRKAR1A- (3) and GNAS-mutant (3) was studied. Total RNA obtained from adrenal tumors were compared to those samples obtained from normal adrenal pools
