Researchers characterize new tumor syndrome Scientists at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg have published their findings that mutations in a gene known as ARMC5 promote the growth of benign tumors in the adrenal glands

The ARMC5 gene was discovered by independent workgroups studying benign tumors--so-called adrenal adenomas--in connection with Cushing's syndrome.

In search of the causes of Cushing's syndrome scientists recently encountered certain genetic causes of benign tumors of the adrenal cortex.

When other scientific workgroups discovered that further benign tumors--in this case meningeal tumors--occur more often in ARMC5-Cushing families the group of Patrick May
