  • Introduction: High growth hormone (GH) secretion is a rare condition that leads to gigantism in childhood and acromegaly in adults. (nih.gov)
  • Aim: We studied gigantism and acromegaly for genetic defects. (nih.gov)
  • Methods: We performed genome-wide analyses in an international cohort of 46 patients with gigantism and 248 patients with acromegaly. (nih.gov)
  • We also identified a recurrent GPR101 variant in 11 out of 248 patients with acromegaly, mostly in tumors. (nih.gov)

  • The familial variety often occurs as part of a syndrome complex (Carney complex) that includes (1) myxomas (cardiac, skin, and/or breast), (2) lentigines and/or pigmented nevi, and (3) endocrine overactivity (primary nodular adrenal cortical disease with or without Cushing's syndrome, testicular tumors, and/or pituitary adenomas with gigantism or acromegaly). (clinicalgate.com)
  • Conclusions: We describe a new genomic disorder characterized by early-onset gigantism and caused by Xq26 microduplications (X-LAG for X-linked acrogigantism). (nih.gov)
  • Having demonstrated that an identifiable genetic defect on the X-chromosome is responsible for the majority of cases of early-onset gigantism, clinicians can now use the test for more accurate identification and treatment. (nih.gov)
  • took a new approach to the problem and looked at copy-number variants in the genome of patients with gigantism, rather than sequencing individual genes. (nih.gov)
