Associations of (rs867186), (rs237025), (rs13278372) Polymorphisms and , , Protein Levels with Clinical and Morphological Features of Pituitary Adenomas.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine associations of (rs867186), (rs237025), (rs13278372) gene polymorphisms and , , protein levels with clinical and morphological features of pituitary adenomas (PAs).

Methods: This case-control study included 459 individuals divided into two groups: a control group ( = 320) and a group of individuals with PAs ( = 139). DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes was isolated using salt precipitation and column method.
