Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease, associated with Carney complex, is caused by mutations in PRKAR1A (mt-PRKAR1A), a gene that codes for the regulatory subunit type 1alpha (RIalpha) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PRKAR1A inactivation is associated with dysregulated PKA activity that is thought to result in tumorigenesis. mt-PRKAR1A-bearing lymphocytes from Carney complex patients exhibit enhanced cell proliferation associated with increased expression of the MAPK ERK1/2 pathway.
