Abstract excerpt
The combined deficiency of thyrotropin, growth hormone and prolactin, caused by PIT1 abnormality manifests in the homozygous or heterozygous state. We studied a patient having an allele with Arg271Trp mutation, which produces clinical symptoms in heterozygotes by a dominant-negative effect. Howev...
