PROP1 gene analysis in Portuguese patients with combined pituitary hormone deficiency.
OBJECTIVE Mutations of the PROP1 gene lead to combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD), which is characterized by a deficiency of GH, TSH, LH/FSH, PRL and, less frequently, ACTH. This study was undertaken to investigate the molecular defect in a cohort of patients with CPHD. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS A multicentric study involving 46 cases of CPHD (17 familial cases belonging to s...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of PROP1, PIT1, HESX1, LHX3, and LHX4 shows high frequency of PROP1 mutations in patients with familial forms of combined pituitary hormone deficiency.
UNLABELLED Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency (CPHD) is a prevalent disease in Neuroendocrinology services. The genetic form of CPHD may originate from mutations in pituitary transcription factor (PTF) genes and the pituitary image in these cases may give a clue of what PTF is most probably mutated: defects in LHX4 are usually associated with ectopic posterior pituitary (EPP); defects in LHX...
متن کاملMultiple pituitary hormone deficiency: beware of combined hormones deficiency
Multiple Pituitary Hormone Deficiency (MPHD) is an endocrine disorder due to combination of pituitary hormones deficiencies. Clinical manifestations vary due to the combination of individual hormone deficiencies. The diagnosis is established based on history, signs and symptoms, hormonal and radiological examination. MPHD should be managed by hormones replacement according hormone abnormalities...
متن کاملFrequency of mutations in PROP-1 gene in Turkish children with combined pituitary hormone deficiency.
Mutations in the prophet of Pit-1 (PROP-1) gene are responsible for most of the cases of combined pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD). We performed this study to determine the prevalence of PROP-1 mutations in a group of Turkish children with CPHD. Fifty-three children with the diagnosis of CPHD were included in this study. Clinical data were obtained from medical files, and hormonal evaluati...
متن کاملCentral hypocortisolism as part of combined pituitary hormone deficiency due to mutations of PROP-1 gene.
BACKGROUND One of the causes of combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is represented by Prophet of Pit-1 (PROP-1) gene inactivating mutations. This disorder is generally characterized by GH, TSH, prolactin (PRL), and gonadotropin deficiency, but recent papers have described a concomitant alteration of the corticotrope function. OBJECTIVE To make a detailed investigation of the hypothal...
