The neurofibromatosis gene in human pituitary adenomas.

Published: December 1994

The neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) gene encodes a protein neurofibromin, which contains a glutamyl transpeptidase (GTP)-activating protein (GAP)-related domain: NF1 GRD. This domain is able to down-regulate P by stimulating its intrinsic GTPase. Because P has an important role in regulating growth and differentiation, somatic mutations in the NF1 gene may result in mutant neurofibromins that might interfere with the Ras signaling pathway and contribute to the development of tumors. In this study, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-coupled single-stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA sequencing to examine possible mutations in the NF1 GRD in human pituitary tumors. We screened 36 nonfunctioning and 20 growth hormone-secreting adenomas. No mutation was detected in these tumors. Our results indicate that inactivation of neurofibromin may not have a primary role in the formation of pituitary adenomas.
