Whole Exome Sequencing Points towards a Multi-Gene Synergistic Action in the Pathogenesis of Congenital Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency [PDF]
Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is characterized by deficiency of growth hormone and at least one other pituitary hormone. Pathogenic variants in more than 30 genes expressed during the development of the head, hypothalamus, and/or pituitary

Growth without growth hormone in combined pituitary hormone deficiency caused by pituitary stalk interruption syndrome. [PDF]
Growth hormone (GH) is an essential element for normal growth. However, reports of normal growth without GH have been made in patients who have undergone brain surgery for craniopharyngioma.

Identification of a Novel PROP1 Mutation in a Patient with Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency and Enlarged Pituitary [PDF]
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) can be present from the neonatal period to adulthood and can be the result of congenital or acquired insults. In addition, GHD can be classified into two types: isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) and combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD).

Association of Homozygous PROP1 Mutation in a Saudi Family with Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency. [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is a rare heterogeneous disease. It is characterized by the deficiency of growth hormone (GH) and shortage of at least one or more other hormones of the pituitary gland including ...

Novel STAR gene variant in a patient with classic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. [PDF]
We report the first case of classic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. We identified pathogenic variants in the STAR gene: a novel variant of c.126_127delCCinsG, namely, p.Thr44Profs*2 and an already reported

Progression from isolated growth hormone deficiency to combined pituitary hormone deficiency [PDF]
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) can present at any time of life from the neonatal period to adulthood, as a result of congenital or acquired insults. It can present as an isolated problem (IGHD) or in combination with other pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD). Pituitary deficits can evolve at any time from GHD diagnosis.

Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency in lhx4-Knockout Zebrafish. [PDF]
LIM homeobox 4 (LHX4) is a transcription factor crucial for anterior pituitary (AP) development. Patients with LHX4 mutation suffer from combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD), short statures, reproductive and metabolic disorders and lethality in some cases. Lhx4-knockout (KO) mice fail to develop a normal AP and die shortly after birth. Here, we
