METHOD OF INSPECTING CORTISOL-PRODUCING TUMOR EXHIBITING CUSHING'S SYNDROME USING PRKACA GENE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of inspecting a cortisol-producing tumor exhibiting Cushing's syndrome.SOLUTION: A cDNA fragment comprising 617-th base of a PRKACA gene synthesized from mRNA present in an adrenal gland of a subject is treated with EcoRII, and a cutting pattern by EcoRII is examined, to inspect a cortisol-producing tumor exhibiting Cushing's syndrome.
