OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between morphologic changes of the pituitary gland and the genotype of Prophet of Pit-1 (PROP1), a newly discovered gene responsible for congenital combined pituitary hormone deficiency, in a series of eight humans with this disorder. CONCLUSION: Congenital hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary gland is the most common MR imaging finding in patients with combined pituitary hormone deficiency. Our findings suggest a crucial role for PROP1 in pituitary organogenesis as well as anterior pituitary cell differentiation.
