First cluster, driven by NR5A1, consists of clinically non-functioning PA (CNFPA), comprising gonadotrophinomas and null cell; the second cluster consists of clinically evident ACTH adenomas and silent corticotroph adenomas, driven by TBX19; and the third, POU1F1-driven TSH-, PRL- and GH-adenomas, segregated together. This evidence concerns the gene NR5A1 and adenoma.
