Description

Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency type 1 (CPHD1), also known as panhypopituitarism, is a disease caused by mutations in the transcription factor POU1F1. These gene sequence changes negatively affect the ability of POU1F1 to induce anterior pituitary hormone production, hindering development. Different mutations in the POU1F1 gene (Pit-1, GHF-1) determine the severity of CPHD1. Studying mutations in POU1F1 has led to important advances in understanding CPHD1. However, it is not fully understood how each mutation affects the functionality of the protein and how they are related to a particular phenotype, which hinders the development of therapies directed at each case...
