In previous studies, the expression of pituitary GHRH-R was shown by real-time quantitative PCR in different cancer cell lines, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma and small-cell lung carcinoma, but the level of expression was low in extrapituitary normal tissues [3]. The gene discussed is GHRHR; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
