Síndrome de Cushing por receptores corticosuprarrenales aberrantes

The molecular mechanisms leading to expression of this type of receptors in the adrenal cortex are still unknown. This new etiological variant of ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome will lead (as is already happening) to the use of new pharmacological alternatives to adrenalectomy. Potentially, further studies will identify other aberrant receptors that induce steroidogenesis leading to Cushing's syndrome, as well as the presence of aberrant receptors in other endocrine and non-endocrine organs.
