Subsequently, antihypertensive medication was needed to control elevated blood pressure...

Here we describe three women with hyperaldosteronism, two who presented in pregnancy and one who presented after menopause. Their aldosterone-producing adenomas harbored activating mutations of CTNNB1, encoding β-catenin in ...
