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...
