J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2021 Mar 17:dgab177. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgab177. PMID: 33729509.Vishnopolska et al. conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 67 hypopituitarism candidate genes in 170 congenital hypopituitarism (CH) patients from Argentina by using small molecule molecular inversion probes followed by sequencing (smMIPS) panel. 57 patients had isolated growth hormone defici...

JCI Insight. 2020 Oct 27;5(23):e134310. doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.134310. PMID: 33108146.Lodge et al. screened 28 patients with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) for mutations in the FAT/DCHS (FAT atypical cadherin/ Dachsous cadherin-related) family of protocadherins. FAT2 and DCHS2 putative damaging variants were found in 6/28 patients with ectopic ...

1.10. MITOL dysfunction causes dwarfism with anterior pituitary hypoplasia

K Matsuno , S Nagashima , I Shiiba , K Taniwaka , K Takeda , T Tokuyama , N Ito , N Matsushita , T Fukuda , S Ishido , R Inatome , S Yanagi

J Biochem. 2020 Sep 1;168(3):305-312. doi: doi: 10.1093/jb/mvaa050. PMID: 32302394.This study shows that mice mitochondrial regulatory gene Mitol-deficient mice display reduced growth in combination with anterior pituitary hypoplasia and reduced growth hormone levels.MITOL encodes a ubiquitin ligase. Ablation of Mitol in nestin-expressing cells ...

1.11. Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome broadens the clinical spectrum of the TTC26 ciliopathy

O David , M Eskin-Schwartz , G Ling , V Dolgin , E Kristal , E Benkowitz , L Osyntsov , L Gradstein , OS Birk , N Loewenthal , B Yerushalmi

Clin Genet. 2020 Sep;98(3):303-307. doi: 10.1111/cge.13805. PMID: 32617964.In this case series, David et al. describe clinical features of 4 patients in 2 unrelated consanguineous families with TTC26 ciliopathy due to a homozygous c.695A>G p.Asn232Ser mutation. Three of the patients had MRI findings consistent with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS), a congenital anomaly o...
