Pituitary hormone deficiency type 2

Panhypopituitarism, now classified as combined pituitary hormone deficiency-2, is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the PROP1 gene. The disease is characterized by symptoms caused by pituitary hormone deficiencies. Most obvious among them are dwarfism and hypogonadism.
