MALAT1 rs619586 as a potential genetic marker of pituitary adenoma susceptibility and aggressiveness
<i>MALAT1</i> rs619586 G allele is significantly associated with an increased risk of PA and its more aggressive clinical features, including invasiveness and recurrence. These findings suggest that rs619586 may serve as a potential genetic marker linked to PA susceptibility. Additionally, the observed relationship between p53 expression and tumor proliferation highlights its potential role in PA tumorigenesis. Further studies are needed to confirm these associations and clarify the underlying molecular mechanisms.
