NCIt definition : Human AIP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q13.3 and is approximately
8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes AH receptor-interacting protein, plays
a role in the regulation of receptor signaling. Mutation of this gene is associated
with various pituitary adenomas.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the AIP gene may be associated with gigantism. (N Engl J Med. 2011; 364:
43-50.); Mutation of the AIP gene is associated with pituitary adenoma predisposition, familial
isolated pituitary adenoma, growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma, ACTH-secreting
pituitary adenoma, and prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma. (UniProt);
