Aggressive pituitary tumors (PitNETs).
Endocrine journal, 2023 The majority of anterior pituitary tumors behave benignly, that is, they grow slowly and do not metastasize, and were therefore called adenomas. However, they would frequently invade adjacent structures, leading to recurrence.

No evidence for oncogenic mutations in guanine nucleotide-binding proteins of human adrenocortical neoplasms [PDF]
, 1933 G-Proteins are membrane-bound heterotrimeric polypeptides that couple receptor signals to second messenger systems such as cAMP. Recently, point mutations at 2 codons of the highly preserved alpha-chain of Gs, the adenyl cyclase-stimulating G-protein ...

The FGFR4-G388R polymorphism promotes mitochondrial STAT3 serine phosphorylation to facilitate pituitary growth hormone cell tumorigenesis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Pituitary tumors are common intracranial neoplasms, yet few germline abnormalities have been implicated in their pathogenesis. Here we show that a single nucleotide germline polymorphism (SNP) substituting an arginine (R) for glycine (G) in the FGFR4 ...
