Do mineralocorticoid receptor mutations differentially affect individual gene expression profiles in pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1?
Our data demonstrate that MR mutations differentially affect individual gene expression in a promoter-dependent manner. Investigation of differential gene expression profiles in PHA1 may allow a better understanding of the molecular substrate of phenotypic variability and to elucidate pathogenic mechanisms underlying the disease.
Based on our study, uterine involvement of cervical cancer is an independent predictor for ovarian metastasis, except histologic types. Ovarian preservation in cervical cancer may be safely performed only when no involvement of uterine corpus is present.
