Myth: "Men1 and Men2 are the only genetic causes of Cushing’s"

 
FACT: This is a Myth. More current research has explored multiple etiologies of Cushing's. It was once thought that heredity had no influence on the development of Cushing's Syndrome/Disease and our knowledge was once limited in this sense. Researchers have done more work in terms of exploring genetic factors in the onset of this disease. *~Robin Ess (Cushing's educator and advocate)
 
The following causes for Cushing's have all been explored:
 
1. Men 1
 
2. Men2
 
3. FIPA
 
4. CAH/BAH
 
5. PRKAR1A(protein kinase,cAMP-dependent, regulatory, type I, ? gene)
 
 
6.(PDE11A)
 
 
 
7.PRKACA
 
 
 
 
 
8.ARMC5
