0.060 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH) are the two most frequent subtypes of sporadic PA and 4 forms of familial hyperaldosteronism (FH-I to FH-IV) have been identified. | 29348113 | 2018 | ||||
|
0.060 | GeneticVariation | disease | BEFREE | Four familial forms of primary aldosteronism (FH-I to FH-IV) have been described. | 28447626 | 2017 | ||||
|
0.060 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | This has generated a wealth of new knowledge regarding (1) PA's high prevalence, (2) the extent of non-BP dependent cardiovascular and renal organ damage and morbidity and reduced quality of life associated with PA, all of which appear to be at least partly ameliorated by specific treatment (especially surgical) directed against excessive aldosterone action, (3) the diversity of adrenal histopathology associated with PA and the need to subdivide patients based on glucocorticoid remediability (by genetic testing for the hybrid gene mutation causing familial hyperaldosteronism type I, FH-I) and lateralisation on adrenal venous sampling in order to ensure optimal treatment, (4) the value of elucidating genetic bases for PA in terms of improving detection, understanding of pathogenesis and treatment, as illustrated by the determination of the genetic basis of FH-I, and (5) the genetic basis of more common forms including aldosterone-producing adenoma. | 23402683 | 2013 | ||||
|
0.060 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | Three-hundred consecutive PA patients diagnosed in our unit were tested by long-PCR of the CYP11B1/CYP11B2 hybrid gene that causes FH-I, and all of the available relatives of PA patients were screened to confirm or exclude PA and, thus, FH-II. | 21876069 | 2011 | ||||
|
0.060 | AlteredExpression | disease | BEFREE | Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II) is characterized by the familial occurrence of primary aldosteronism; unlike FH-I, it is not glucocorticoid-remediable and not associated with the hybrid CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene mutation. | 16003173 | 2005 | ||||
|
0.060 | Biomarker | disease | BEFREE | Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II) is characterized by inheritance of primary aldosteronism (PAL) but, unlike FH-I, is not glucocorticoid remediable and not associated with the hybrid CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene mutation. | 15579186 | 2004 |
