Mutations in transcription factors genes, which are well regulated spatially and temporally in the pituitary gland, result in congenital hypopituitarism (CH) in humans. The prevalence of CH attributable to transcription factor mutations appears to be rare and varies among populations.This study aimed to define the prevalence of CH in terms of nine CH-associated genes among Japanese patients. We...
