Novel Heterozygous Nonsense GLI2 Mutations in Patients with Hypopituitarism and Ectopic Posterior Pituitary Lobe without Holoprosencephaly
5 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: GLI2 is a transcription factor downstream in Sonic Hedgehog signaling, acting early in ventral forebrain and pituitary development. GLI2 mutations were reported in patients with holoprosencephaly (HPE) and pituitary abnormalities. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to report three novel frameshift/nonsense GLI2 mutations and the phenotypic variability in the three families. SETTING: The study was conducted at a...
