Somatic mutations in ATP1A1 and CACNA1D underlie a common subtype of adrenal hypertension.
2013
Morris Brown and colleagues identify somatic mutations in ATP1A1 and CACNA1D in aldosterone-producing adenomas with features resembling zonaglomerulosa cells. They further show that the ATP1A1 mutations cause inward leak currents under physiological conditions, whereas the CACNA1D mutations induce a shift of voltage-dependent gating to more negative potentials and suppress channel inactivation.
