Abstract:
[Summary] The development of pituitary is a complex process involving the interactions of multiple genes.In recent years,the mutations ofHESX1,LHX3,LHX4,PITX1,PITX2,SOX,PROP1,and PIT1 have been confirmed in congenital pituitary diseases.This review summarizes the advances in the roles of these genes in pituitary development.
