Mutated genes in TETs were enriched in several hormone-associated pathways such as insulin secretion; Cushing syndrome; parathyroid hormone; and thyroid hormone, as well as multiple classical tumor-associated pathways, including cAMP, Notch, PI3K-Akt, and WNT signaling pathway. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and Cushing syndrome due to macronodular adrenal hyperplasia.
