Nevertheless, individual SNP analysis and/or haplotype analysis on genes of the interaction partners of PTTG1, or on newly identified candidate genes involved in pathogenesis of pituitary adenoma, such as the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) gene and the RWD-containing sumoylation enhancer (RSUME) gene [28], may yield interesting results. This evidence concerns the gene PTTG1 and pituitary gland adenoma.
