Cross-species summary: Entries for this type of Cushing syndrome (pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID)) are included for some species under the phene 'Cushing syndrome, generic' (previously 'Hyperadrenocorticism, generic'): OMIA:000494. Renamed from 'Cushing disease, pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism' to 'Cushing syndrome, ACTH-dependent, pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism based on ALIVE recommendations (PMID:40872711), with the following definiton:  "Hypercortisolism occurs due to dysregulated ACTH secretion by the pituitary.
