PA causes hypertension and the majority with this disease are undiagnosed for PA. There are new insights into this matter by using biochemistry as well as advanced radiology. In 2011, a breakthrough in the genetic derangements came, identifying a mutated potassium channel gene ? KCNJ5 ? in about 40% of PA with adenoma. Chapters in this book include a history of the disorder, epidemiology, genetics derangements, the KCNJ5 mutations and phenotype and more. 606 $aHuman genetics 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aMedicine 606 $aHuman Genetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008 606 $aEndocrinology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33053 606 $aBiomedicine, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000X 615 0$aHuman genetics. 615 0$aEndocrinology. 615 0$aMedicine. 615 14$aHuman Genetics. 615 24$aEndocrinology. 615 24$aBiomedicine, general. 676 $a599935 676 $a610 676 $a611.01816 676 $a616 702 $aHellman$b Per$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298313803321 996 $aPrimary Aldosteronism$92503015 997 $aUNINA
