Summary

This study checked 150 adults who had adrenal gland lumps found by chance, but no signs of Cushing's disease. Researchers looked for changes in a gene that controls the body's stress hormone receptor. The goal was to find out if these gene changes are more common than previously thought and how they relate to hormone levels and lump size. No treatment was given; this was purely an observation study.
