Acromegaly in humans is usually sporadic, however up to 20% of familial isolated pituitary adenomas are caused by germline sequence variants of the aryl-hydrocarbon-receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene. Feline acromegaly has similarities to human... Read More about Feline hypersomatotropism and acromegaly tumorigenesis: a potential role for the AIP gene.
