Abstract
Aldosterone-producing adenoma is a subtype of primary aldosteronism. Recent advancements in multi-omics research have led to significant progress in understanding primary aldosteronism at the genetic level. Among the various genes associated with the development of aldosterone-producing adenomas, the KCNJ5 (potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 5) gene has received considerable attention due to its prevalence as the most common somatic mutation gene in primary aldosteronism. This paper aims to integrate the existing evidence on the involvement of KCNJ5 gene in the pathogenesis of aldosterone-producing adenomas, to enhance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of aldosterone-producing adenomas from the perspective of genetics, and to provide novel insights for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of aldosterone-producing adenomas.
