Genetic and environmental drivers of craniofacial, brain, and pituitary disorders.

Research mapping genetic causes of pituitary hormone disorders clarifies why similar mutations cause variable disease, informing future gene therapy.

Comprehensive review of genetic and environmental drivers of the congenital pituitary hormone deficiency spectrum (including septo-optic dysplasia and holoprosencephaly), identifying molecular basis for variable clinical expression and highlighting gaps for gene therapy targeting. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
