  TITLE     Cretinism with combined hormone deficiency caused by a mutation in
            the PIT1 gene
  JOURNAL   Nat. Genet. 1, 56-58 (1992)
COMMENT     This mutation converts the 172nd codon for Arg(CGA) to a
            termination codon(TGA) and results in the defect of the entire
            POU- homeo region. As the patient homozygous for this mutation
            showed combined pituitary hormone deficiencies of
            thyrotropin(TSH), growhth hormone(GH) and prolaction(PRL), the
            function of the human PIT1 gene is related to the differentiation
            and/or proliferation of TSH, GH, PRL producing cells, and/or
            transcriptional activation of the TSH, GH, PRL genes.
