Functional characterization of a human <i>POU1F1</i> mutation associated with isolated growth hormone deficiency: a novel etiology for IGHD
26 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
POU1F1, a pituitary-specific POU-homeo domain transcription factor, plays an essential role in the specification of the somatotroph, lactotroph and thyrotroph lineages and in the activation of GH1, PRL and TSHβ transcription. Individuals with mutations in POU1F1 present with combined deficiency of GH, PRL and TSH. Here, we identified a heterozygous missense mutation with evidence of pathogenicity, at the POU1F1...
