Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a developmental defect characterized by wide phenotypic variability, ranging from minor midline malformations (eg, single central incisor) to severe deformities. In 10-15% of HPE patients, mutations in specific genes have been identified (eg, SHH, TGIF, SIX3). Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) constitutes a distinct abnormality of unknown pathogenesis, whereas...
