Funded Activity Summary

This study aims to diagnose early Cushing's in certain high risk groups - before debilitating complications have developed which increase mortality. Early treatment normalises life expectancy and improves quality of life. We aim to discover the genetic cause of inherited Cushing's. This will allow a genetic test to be developed - so gene carriers can be carefully followed for onset of symptoms of Cushing's and those who are not carriers can be reassured.
