Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Congenital hypopituitarism is caused by mutations in pituitary transcription factors involved in the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

This study was undertaken to compare the clinical, endocrinological, and radiological features of patients with an isolated...
