Somatic SF3B1 hotspot mutation in prolactinomas
The genetic basis of prolactinomas remains poorly understood. Here, the authors find a recurrent hotspot somatic mutation in the splicing factor 3 subunit B1 (SF3B1 R625H ) in prolactinomas, and show that this mutation causes aberrant splicing of ESRRG ...

A new and useful tool for differentiating prolactinomas from non-functioning pituitary adenomas: a pilot study of the cabergoline disconnection test [PDF]
Objective: Clinical, imaging, and laboratory differentiation between non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) and prolactinomas can be challenging in clinical practice because of their similar presentation and eventual overlap in prolactin levels.

Theta oscillations in prolactinomas: Neurocognitive deficits in executive controls
Impairment of cognitive functions has been reported in prolactinomas. However, the electrophysiological mechanisms of response activation and response inhibition in prolactinomas remain unclear. We recorded participants’ scalp electroencephalography (EEG)

Impact of Tumor Size on Prolactinoma Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes: A Study of a Tunisian Cohort [PDF]
Issues: The clinical and paraclinical characteristics of prolactinomas differ mainly according to sex and tumor size. Drug treatment with dopamine agonists (ADs) has a crucial role in the management of prolactinomas.

Hyperprolactinemia, defined by a level of serum prolactin above the standard upper limit of normal range, is a common finding in clinical practice and prolactinomas are the main pathological cause. Prolactinomas lead to signs and symptoms of hormone oversecretion, such as galactorrhea and hypogonadism, as well as symptoms of mass effect, including ...
