The results of this study revealed the presence of heterozygous somatic variants in the PRKD1 gene, specifically c.2130A>T and c.2130A>C, in 50% (4/8) of the sequenced cases of salivary gland PAC; both variants result in a p.Glu710Asp amino acid substitution (E710D). Here, PRKD1 is linked to gonorrhea.
