...Sally Radovick; Mariam Gangat; Bethany Murphy; Jennifer L. Miller; Youn Hee Jee Introduction: Variants in the intron splicing enhancer (ISE) of intron 3 in the GH1 gene are implicated in the etiology of isolated growth hormone deficiency type 2 (type II IGHD). Methods: Exome sequencing...

... of multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD). This study aimed to present the clinical and molecular characteristics of patients with IGHD/MPHD due to the GH1 gene variants. Methods: A gene panel accommodating 25 genes associated with MPHD and short stature was used to search for small sequence variants...

... causes, includes the following disorders: (1) a decreased spontaneous GH secretion in contrast to a normal stimulated GH peak (“GH neurosecretory dysfunction,” GHND) and (2) genetic conditions with a normal GH sensitivity (e.g., pathogenic variants of GH1 or GHSR ) and (3) GH insensitivity (GHI). We...

... , as well as the P89L and IVS3+1/+2 mutations in GH1 , recently described to cause pituitary hormone impairment in addition to GH deficiency. Results: We did not find any mutation or deletion in PROP1, HESX1, LHX3 or LHX4, nor GH1 P89L and GH1 IVS3+1/+2 mutations. Among 12 patients with a typical ‘ POU1F1...
