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

Etiology of combined pituitary hormone deficiency: GNAO1 as a novel candidate gene [PDF]
Because the causes of combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) are complex, the etiology of congenital CPHD remains unknown in most cases. The aim of the study was to identify the genetic etiology of CPHD in a well-defined single-center cohort.
