Re: Genetic mutation responsible for ‘gigantism’ disease — or acromegaly — identified

To say that "the genetic mutation responsible for gigantism or acromegaly" has been identified is somewhat misleading. It is more accurate to say that "a genetic" mutation has been found to account for a very small number of cases. The AIP mutation is only responsible for <5% of pituitary adenomas. This means that for >95% there is still no evidence for any hereditary trait. For the majority of cases, we are still no closer to knowing the true cause of gigantism and acromegaly.
