Introduction: Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) results in deficit of growth hormone and coexisting failure of synthesis or excretion at least another pituitary hormone. Transcription factors controlling expression of genes required for pituitary organogenesis are orchestrating entire development process and certain cell lineages differentiation, contributing therefore significantly to CPHD pathogenesis with childhood onset.Aims: The purpose o...
