Pituitary hormone deficiency, combined, 2(CPHD2)

MedGen UID:
209236
Concept ID:
C0878683
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Ateliotic dwarfism with hypogonadism; Hanhart dwarfism; Pituitary dwarfism III; PROP1-Related Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency
 
Gene (location): PROP1 (5q35.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0009878
OMIM®: 262600

Disease characteristics

PROP1-related combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is associated with deficiencies of: growth hormone (GH); thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH); the two gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH); prolactin (PrL); and occasionally adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). At birth, in contrast to individuals with congenital CPHD of other etiologies, neonates with PROP1-related CPHD lack perinatal signs of hypopituitarism. Mean birth weights and lengths are usually within the normal range and neonatal hypoglycemia and prolonged neonatal jaundice are not prevalent findings. Most affected individuals are ascertained because of short stature during childhood. Although TSH deficiency can present shortly after birth, TSH deficiency usually occurs with or after the onset of GH deficiency. Hypothyroidism is usually mild. FSH and LH deficiencies are typically identified at the age of onset of puberty. Affected individuals can have absent or delayed and incomplete secondary sexual development with infertility. Untreated males usually have a small penis and small testes. Some females experience menarche but subsequently require hormone replacement therapy. ACTH deficiency is less common and, when present, usually occurs in adolescence or adulthood. Neuroimaging of hypothalamic-pituitary region usually demonstrates a hypoplastic or normal anterior pituitary lobe and a normal posterior pituitary lobe. [from GeneReviews]

Clinical features

From HPO
Short stature
MedGen UID:
87607
Concept ID:
C0349588
Finding
A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
Seizure
MedGen UID:
20693
Concept ID:
C0036572
Sign or Symptom
A seizure is an intermittent abnormality of nervous system physiology characterized by a transient occurrence of signs and/or symptoms due to abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.
Panhypopituitarism
MedGen UID:
69171
Concept ID:
C0242343
Disease or Syndrome
A pituitary functional deficit affecting all the anterior pituitary hormones (growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and prolactin).
Isolated prolactin deficiency
MedGen UID:
75758
Concept ID:
C0271586
Finding
A reduced level of prolactin in the blood circulation. Prolactin is a protein hormone that is secreted by lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary and that stimulates mammary gland development and milk production.
Hypoglycemic seizures
MedGen UID:
164079
Concept ID:
C0877056
Disease or Syndrome
Neonatal hypoglycemia
MedGen UID:
57646
Concept ID:
C0158986
Finding
Blood glucose concentration below the lower limit of established reference ranges in a newborn.
Adrenal insufficiency
MedGen UID:
1351
Concept ID:
C0001623
Disease or Syndrome
Insufficient production of steroid hormones (primarily cortisol) by the adrenal glands.
Hypogonadism
MedGen UID:
5711
Concept ID:
C0020619
Disease or Syndrome
A decreased functionality of the gonad.
Hypothyroidism
MedGen UID:
6991
Concept ID:
C0020676
Disease or Syndrome
Deficiency of thyroid hormone.
Reduced circulating growth hormone concentration
MedGen UID:
82880
Concept ID:
C0271561
Disease or Syndrome
Concentration of growth hormone in the blood circulation below normal limits.
Decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone level
MedGen UID:
717708
Concept ID:
C1295607
Finding
Reduced amount of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the function of the thyroid gland.
Abnormal circulating adrenocorticotropin concentration
MedGen UID:
869154
Concept ID:
C4023574
Finding
An abnormal concentration of corticotropin in the blood.
Decreased circulating follicle stimulating hormone concentration
MedGen UID:
892977
Concept ID:
C4072889
Finding
A reduction of the circulating level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Decreased circulating luteinizing hormone level
MedGen UID:
893008
Concept ID:
C4072890
Finding
A reduction in the circulating level of luteinizing hormone (LH).
