Cross-species summary: Entries for Cushing disease (pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism) are included for some species under the phene 'Hyperadrenocorticism, generic' (or Cushing syndrome): OMIA:000494.

Molecular basis: De-Marco et al. (2017) searched for variants in the coding region of the functional comparative candidate gene CRHR1 in 50 Poodles with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and 50 control Poodles. An activating heterozygous mutation was identified in exon 4 of the CRHR1 gene in one of the affected poodles, and these findings were supported by protein modelling and functional characterisation of the mutant protein. The other 49 affected dogs lacked the variant and further evidence is required before any conclusions can be drawn about the relevance of this variant to pituitary hyperadrenocorticism in the wider poodle population (Heidi Schmeck 3/11/2020).

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
