Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is a rare disorder that is characterized by the impaired production of growth hormone (GH) and one or more other pituitary hormones. Currently reported genes include PROP1, POU1F1, HESX1, LHX3, LHX4, and OTX2. Mutations of these transcription factor genes cause a wide range of pituitary phenotypes, from severe life-threatening CPHD to isolated GH deficiency.
