A PHLDB1 variant associated with the nonfunctional pituitary adenoma

Previous studies have revealed that PHLDB1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with glioma risk. Nonetheless, the association between PHLDB1 SNPs and the risk of pituitary adenoma has not been studied. The present study evaluated the association of PHLDB1 SNPs with the risk of pituitary adenomas. We genotyped 27 PHLDB1 tagging and exon SNPs in a case–control study that included 148 patients who got a diagnosis of nonfunctional...
