Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology of combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is just beginning to be elucidated, with mutations in genes encoding transcription factors expressed at different stages of pituitary development. Among them, the two closely related genes, LHX3 and LHX4, are believed to share redundant biological properties. The patients with a LHX3 mutation display a CPHD phenotype, associated with a rigid...
