Aim: To study features of family inheritance in patients of non-functional pituitary adenomas (NFPA) in Uzbekistan.
Materials and methods: We included 71 patients with NFPA, intrasellar localization (mean size >3 mm). Mean age was from 18 to 70 years old (range 44.5±3.85 years). Of 71 patients, 30 (42.3%) were men and 41 (57.7%) were women.
All patients underwent clinical and biochemical evaluations including endocrine check, lipid profile, hormonal profile (LH, FSH, prolactin, STH, TSH, etc.), genitalia ultrasonography, CT/MRI of pituitary, visual fields, genetic methods if investigation (FNO-&, proapoptosis protein of gene p53, antiapoptosis protein of gene of bcl-2, activity of factors of angiogenesis-VGFE, VGFER-2, eNOS-3) and study of family anamnesis.
Results: In this investigation, we disjointed 71 patients with NFPA into two groups: group 1 without hereditary load 50 (70.4%) and group 2 with hereditary load 21 (29.6%), including panmixia 9 (2.7%) and inbreeding 12 (16.9%) patients.
The clinical analysis submitted that in patients with inbreeding, the onset of disease has been diagnosed at 35 years earlier, more often in young age before 2835 years, than in patients with panmixia.
Conclusion: i) On the base of in-depth study of features of NFPA, we found in our patients with NFPA 2 types of family inheritance: panmixia (73.8%) and inbreeding (26.8%). ii) In patients with inbreeding more frequently happen in women with mean size of tumor in the range 810 mm, but in patients with panmixia equality in men and women with mean size until 8 mm.
