The NEBL rs2359536 and PCDH15 rs10763170 variants were not associated with the overall risk for the disease, although a borderline significant association was observed between the PCDH15 rs10763170 minor allele (T allele) and somatotrophinomas (dominant model, OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.02–2.35, p = 0.035). This evidence concerns the gene NEBL and growth hormone-producing pituitary gland adenoma.
