Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind pituitary tumors
NCT ID NCT00461188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find new genes that cause pituitary tumors, including those that lead to acromegaly (gigantism) and prolactinomas. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people with these tumors and their family members. By analyzing DNA, they hope to better understand inherited risks and improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
