Ann Neurol. 2021 Jul;90(1):143-158. doi: 10.1002/ana.26127. PMID: 33999436.Brief Summary: This study identifies biallelic HID1 variants in 7 patients with hypopituitarism and infantile encephalopathy. It provides genetic and functional evidence for a novel gene-disease connection and expands the list of central nervous system diseases caused by impairment of the trans-Golgi network.<p ...

Am J Hum Genet. 2021 Aug 5;108(8):1526-1539. doi: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2021.06.013. PMID: 34270938.Brief Summary: This study reports splice-disruptive variants in POU1F1 in 4 families with hypopituitarism and uses a high-throughput splicing reporter assay to create a comprehensive catalogue of such variants in or near exon 2 of the gene. The catalogue paves the way for identifying synon...

1.8. Intronic variant in POU1F1 associated with canine pituitary dwarfism

K Kyostila , JE Niskanen , M Arumilli , J Donner , MK Hytonen , H Lohi

Hum Genet. 2021 Nov;140(11):1553-1562. doi: 10.1007/s00439-021-02259-2.Brief Summary: This paper describes 5 related Karelian Bear Dogs (KBDs) with a canine hypopituitarism phenotype. Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) and next-generation sequencing revealed a homozygous candidate gene defect in POU1F1. The study thus presents a novel animal model for human hypopituitarism.</...
