GIANTS IN THE BIBLE<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
In about 80% of families <strong>the</strong> gene caus<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> disease is unknown. The pituitary tumour types<br />
occurr<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se families are most commonly growth hormone-secret<strong>in</strong>g adenomas<br />
(caus<strong>in</strong>g acromegaly or acromegalic gigantism), prolact<strong>in</strong>-secret<strong>in</strong>g adenomas<br />
(prolact<strong>in</strong>omas) or non-function<strong>in</strong>g pituitary adenomas (NFPA), very rarely ACTH-secret<strong>in</strong>g<br />
adenomas (caus<strong>in</strong>g Cush<strong>in</strong>g's disease) or TSH-secret<strong>in</strong>g adenomas. The disease most<br />
often starts <strong>in</strong> adulthood, very rarely <strong>in</strong> childhood (average age of disease onset <strong>in</strong> our<br />
cohort for AIP negative FIPA patients is 38 years). These families usually only have two or<br />
three patients known with <strong>the</strong> disease.<br />
We still have giants even today due this disorder.<br />
