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...

To read the full abstract: Mol Cell Endocrinol 2018; 15;473:166-177Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins are transcription factors transiently activated by different ligands such as cytokines, growth factors, or peptides, which trigger intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation along the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Phosphorylated STAT induces...

PMID: 34270938.Brief Summary: This study reports splice-disruptive variants in POU1F1 in 4 families with hypopituitarism and uses a high-throughput splicing reporter assay to create a comprehensive catalogue of such variants in or near exon 2 of the gene. The catalogue paves the way for identifying synon...

Brief Summary: This study significantly advances our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of congenital hypopituitarism (CH) by utilizing whole exome sequencing (WES) in a large cohort of patients from Argentina.CH is a complex and highly heterogeneous disorder that is associated with highly variable clinical phenotypes that range in severity (1). The aetiology of CH may extend beyond monogenic causes, involving oligogenic, polygenic, or multifacto...
