High-throughput splicing assays identify missense and silent splice-disruptive<i>POU1F1</i>variants underlying pituitary hormone deficiency
2021-02-08
Abstract excerpt
Pituitary hormone deficiency occurs in ∼1:4,000 live births. Approximately 3% of the cases are due to mutations in the alpha isoform of POU1F1, a pituitary-specific transcriptional activator. We found four separate heterozygous missense variants in unrelated hypopituitarism patients that were predicted to affect a minor isoform, POU1F1 beta, which can act as a transcriptional repressor. These variants retain repre...
