COMBINED PITUITARY HORMONE DEFICIENCIES, GENETIC FORMS
Alternate names
COMBINED PITUITARY HORMONE DEFICIENCIES, GENETIC FORMS Is also known as multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, genetic forms, familial congenital hypopituitarism
Description
Congenital hypopituitarism is characterized by multiple pituitary hormone deficiency, including somatotroph, thyrotroph, lactotroph, corticotroph or gonadotroph deficiencies, due to mutations of pituitary transcription factors involved in pituitary ontogenesis. Congenital hypopituitarism is rare compared with the high incidence of hypopituitarism induced by pituitary adenomas, transsphenoidal surgery or radiotherapy.
Most common symptoms of COMBINED PITUITARY HORMONE DEFICIENCIES, GENETIC FORMS
- Intellectual disability
- Seizures
- Short stature
- Generalized hypotonia
- Hearing impairment

SHORT STATURE-PITUITARY AND CEREBELLAR DEFECTS-SMALL SELLA TURCICA SYNDROME
Alternate names
SHORT STATURE-PITUITARY AND CEREBELLAR DEFECTS-SMALL SELLA TURCICA SYNDROME Is also known as pituitary hormone deficiency, combined, with or without cerebellar defects, short stature, pituitary and cerebellar defects, and small sella turcica
Description
Short stature-pituitary and cerebellar defects-small sella turcica syndrome is characterised by short stature, anterior pituitary hormone deficiency, small sella turcica, and a hypoplastic anterior hypophysis associated with pointed cerebellar tonsils. It has been described in three generations of a large French kindred. Ectopia of the posterior hypophysis was observed in some patients. The syndrome is transmitted as a dominantly inherited trait and is caused by a germline mutation within the LIM-homeobox transcription factor LHX4 gene (1q25).
Most common symptoms of SHORT STATURE-PITUITARY AND CEREBELLAR DEFECTS-SMALL SELLA TURCICA SYNDROME
- Short stature
- Respiratory distress
- Delayed skeletal maturation
- Cerebellar hypoplasia
- Hypothyroidism

PITUITARY STALK INTERRUPTION SYNDROME
Alternate names
PITUITARY STALK INTERRUPTION SYNDROME Is also known as psis, ectopic neurohypophysis
Description
Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a congenital abnormality of the pituitary that is responsible for pituitary deficiency and is usually characterized by the triad of a very thin or interrupted pituitary stalk, an ectopic (or absent) posterior pituitary (EPP) and hypoplasia or aplasia of the anterior pituitary visible on MRI. In some patients the abnormality may be limited to EPP (also called ectopic neurohypophysis) or to an interrupted pituitary stalk.
Most common symptoms of PITUITARY STALK INTERRUPTION SYNDROME
- Intellectual disability
- Seizures
- Global developmental delay
- Short stature
- Failure to thrive

HYPOTHYROIDISM DUE TO DEFICIENT TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS INVOLVED IN PITUITARY DEVELOPMENT OR FUNCTION
Description
Hypothyroidism due to mutations in transcription factors involved in pituitary development or function is a type of central congenital hypothyroidism (see this term), a permanent thyroid deficiency that is present from birth, characterized by low levels of thyroid hormones caused by disorders in the development or function of the pituitary.
Most common symptoms of HYPOTHYROIDISM DUE TO DEFICIENT TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS INVOLVED IN PITUITARY DEVELOPMENT OR FUNCTION
- Intellectual disability
- Global developmental delay
- Short stature
- Muscular hypotonia
- Feeding difficulties
