Genetic aspects of familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPA) are expanding rapidly in the last few years. Around 20% of these FIPA families have been identified to have mutations within the aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene. The number of identified AIP-positive FIPA families is increasing all over the world.
