GNAS and adrenal cortex neoplasm: In benign aldosterone-producing adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias, alteration of intracellular calcium signaling has been found to be significant in aldosterone hypersecretion, with causative defects including those in KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, CACNA1D, CACNA1H, and CLCN2. In benign cortisol-producing adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias abnormal cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A signaling has been found to play a central role in tumorigenesis, with pathogenic variants in GNAS, PRKAR1A, PRKACA, PRKACB, PDE11A, and PDE8B being implicated.
