Phenotypes associated with the disease pituitary hormone deficiency, combined or isolated, 8 (OMIM:620303):
- Anterior pituitary hypoplasia (HP:0010627): Underdevelopment of the anterior pituitary gland. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 4/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Strabismus (HP:0000486): A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Anterior pituitary agenesis (HP:0010626): Absence of the anterior pituitary gland resulting from a developmental defect. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Hypermetropia (HP:0000540): An abnormality of refraction characterized by the ability to see objects in the distance clearly, while objects nearby appear blurry. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Short stature (HP:0004322): 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). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Decreased circulating luteinizing hormone level (HP:0030344): A reduction in the circulating level of luteinizing hormone (LH). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Decreased circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 concentration (HP:0030353): The concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in the blood circulation is below the lower limit of normal. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Decreased circulating follicle stimulating hormone concentration (HP:0030341): A reduction of the circulating level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Ectopic posterior pituitary (HP:0011755): An abnormal anatomical location of the posterior lobe of the hypophysis, also known as the neurohypophysis. The posterior pituitary is normally present in the dorsal portion of the sella turcica, but when ectopic is usually near the median eminence. This defect is likely to be due to abnormal migration during embryogenesis. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Reduced circulating growth hormone concentration (HP:0034323): Concentration of growth hormone in the blood circulation below normal limits. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 5/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Absent pituitary stalk (HP:0034976): A developmental defect characterized by failure to develop of the pituitary stalk. The pituitary stalk, also known as the infundibulum or infundibular stalk, is the connection between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Interrupted pituitary stalk (HP:0034978): A developmental defect characterized by a discontinuity of the pituitary stalk. The pituitary stalk, also known as the infundibulum or infundibular stalk, is the connection between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 3/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone level (HP:0031098): Reduced amount of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the function of the thyroid gland. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 2/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Ptosis (HP:0000508): The upper eyelid margin is positioned 3 mm or more lower than usual and covers the superior portion of the iris (objective); or, the upper lid margin obscures at least part of the pupil (subjective). Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Decreased circulating ACTH concentration (HP:0002920): The concentration of corticotropin, also known as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), is below the lower limit of normal in the blood circulation. Evidence: PCS. Frequency: 1/5. (PMID:28402530)
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (HP:0000006): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:28402530)
