3 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) and holoprosencephaly (HPE) are congenital midline defects. Rare mutations in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling gene CDON have recently been reported in patients with HPE. OBJECTIVE: To report a unique case of PSIS with a maternally inherited nonsense mutation in the SHH signaling protein CDON. METHOD: We performed exome sequencing on a case of PSIS....
