J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020 Dec 1;105(12): dgaa585.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32844182/The aim of this histological study was to investigate DNA methylation and expression of genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes in benign adrenocortical tumors. The findings suggest that DNA methylation plays a regulatory role in CYP11B2 expression and may contribute to aldosterone hypersecretion in a...
