ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia 2

ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia 2 is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations of the ARMC5 gene. It is characterized by adrenal hypertrophy and glucocorticoid overproduction (Cushing syndrome) while ACTH is rather suppressed.
