Introduction: The UK 100,000 Genomes Project (100KGP) investigated the genetic basis of rare disease. The molecular drivers of most paediatric pituitary disease remains unknown.Methods: Children with genetically unexplained pituitary disorders attending a tertiary paediatric endocrinology centre were recruited to the 100KGP and underwent whole genome sequencing. Parental DNA was obtained where feasible. Virtual gene panels were applied and bioinformatic ...
