Two missense mutations in KCNQ1 cause pituitary hormone deficiency and maternally inherited gingival fibromatosis

Two missense mutations in KCNQ1 cause pituitary hormone deficiency and maternally inherited gingival fibromatosis

Growth retardation is most commonly caused by genetic defects in the growth hormone pathway. Here, in families with growth retardation and gingival fibromatosis, the authors identify mutations in the potassium channel gene KCNQ1 that cause electrophysiological aberrations and altered ACTH secretion...

Sumario:Growth retardation is most commonly caused by genetic defects in the growth hormone pathway. Here, in families with growth retardation and gingival fibromatosis, the authors identify mutations in the potassium channel gene KCNQ1 that cause electrophysiological aberrations and altered ACTH secretion in vitro.
