Brief summary: Congenital central hypothyroidism is caused by thyrotropin deficiency, either isolated or in combination with other pituitary deficiencies. So far, mutations in five genes have been identified in patients with isolated thyrotropin deficiency: thyroid stimulating hormone subunit β (TSHβ), thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor (TRHR), immunoglobulin superfamily member 1 (IGSF1), transducin-like protein 1 (TBLX1), and ...

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...
