In humans, heterozygous mutations of OTX2 cause severe ocular malformations. However, whether mutations of OTX2 cause pituitary structural abnormalities or combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) has not been clarified.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Objectives: We surveyed the functional consequences of a novel OTX2 mutation that was detected in a patient with anophthalmia and CPHD.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Patient: We examined a Japanese patient with growth disturbance, anophthalamia, and severe developmental delay. He showed deficiencies in GH, TSH, LH, FSH, and ACTH. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a small anterior pituitary gland, invisible stalk, ectopic posterior lobe, and Chiari malformation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Sequence analysis of OTX2 demonstrated a heterozygous two bases insertion [S136fsX178 (c.576-577insCT)] in exon 3. The mutant Otx2 protein localized to the nucleus, but did not activate the promoter of the HESX1 and POU1F1 gene, indicating a loss of function mutation. No dominant negative effect in the presence of wild-type Otx2 was observed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion: This case indicates that the OTX2 mutation is a cause of CPHD. Further study of more patients with OTX2 defects is necessary to clarify the clinical phenotypes and endocrine defects caused by OTX2 mutations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2008-1219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,15]],"date-time":"2008-10-15T03:04:32Z","timestamp":1224039872000},"page":"314-319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["OTX2
