Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) corresponds to impaired production of growth hormone (GH) and other anterior pituitary hormones. The genetic form of CPHD may result from mutations in pituitary transcription factor genes, and PROP1 is the most commonly mutated gene in these cases. Patients with PROP1 mutations may have variable CPHD phenotypes but, because they are usually treated in...
