Adrenal Cushing's syndrome 		0.010 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Because loss of heterozygosity at the 11p15 locus has been described in childhood tumors, particularly, in adrenocortical tumors, associated with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and because insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is a crucial regulator of fetal adrenal growth, we looked for structural analysis at the 11p15 locus and IGF-II gene expression in 23 sporadic adrenocortical adult tumors: 6 carcinomas (5 with Cushing's syndrome and 1 nonsecreting) and 17 benign adenomas (13 with Cushing's syndrome, 1 pure androgen secreting, and 3 nonsecreting). 7911125 1994
