Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is characterized by a malformed or underdeveloped pituitary gland resulting in an impaired pituitary hormone secretion. Several transcription factors have been described in its etiology, but defects in known genes account for only a small proportion of cases. METHODS: To identify novel genetic causes for congenital hypopituitarism, we performed...
