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 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 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 کاملGrowth without growth hormone in combined pituitary hormone deficiency caused by pituitary stalk interruption syndrome
Growth hormone (GH) is an essential element for normal growth. However, reports of normal growth without GH have been made in patients who have undergone brain surgery for craniopharyngioma. Normal growth without GH can be explained by hyperinsulinemia, hyperprolactinemia, elevated leptin levels, and GH variants; however, its exact mechanism has not been elucidated yet. We diagnosed a female pa...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA profiles and the identification of miR-593 and miR-511 which directly target the PROP1 gene in children with combined pituitary hormone deficiency
Since the tissue of children with combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is not readily accessible, a new focus in children with CPHD is the blood-based expression profiling of non-protein coding genes, such as microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs), which regulate gene expression by inhibiting the translation of mRNAs. In this study, to address this, we identified potential miRNA signatures for CPHD...
