Ceccato, Filippo and Crimì, Filippo (2026) CT-derived Grape-Like Adrenal Sign (GLAS) helps to identify genetic mutations in Bilateral Macronodular Adrenal Disease. [Data Collection]
Collection description
Background. Bilateral macronodular adrenal disease (BMAD) is a rare disorder characterized by bilateral benign macronodules and variable degrees of hypercortisolism. Pathogenic variants in ARMC5 and KDM1A represent the best-established genetic etiologies. However, it remains uncertain whether quantitative/qualitative CT evaluation characterizes genetically mutated patients. Purpose. To evaluate CT morphological and dimensional differences in BMAD patients with and without ARMC5/KDM1A pathogenetic variants. Materials and Methods. Retrospective single-center study of 102 genetically characterized BMAD patients (67 women; median age, 63 years). CT scans were independently analyzed by three reader teams blinded to clinical/genetic data. Genetic testing was used as reference standard for statistics.
