- Abstract
Objective: To establish the frequency of the c.301_302 delAG mutation of the PROP1 gene in Romanian patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD). Subjects and methods: Somatic assessment, hormonal test, bone age, magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary gland, and molecular diagnosis were performed in 26 patients with MPHD (7 patients with familial form of MPHD and 19 patients with sporadic form of MPHD). Results: The c.301_302delAG mutation was detected in the homozygous state in 10 patients belonging to 5 unrelated families (7 patients with familial history of MPHD and 3 patients with sporadic form of MPHD). Those 10 patients presented variable pituitary hormone deficiency and pituitary morphology. Conclusions: The c.301_302delAG homozygous genotype had a high frequency of 38% (10/26), reaching 100% (7/7) in group with familial cases of MPHD and 16% (3/19) in group with sporadic forms of MPHD.
