Recent studies have shown a novel mechanism of combined pituitary hormone deficiency associated with mutations in POU1F1, altering the balance of alternative-splicing, which results in over-expression of the beta isoform of POU1F1. These studies underscore the need for biologists, in the context of routine molecular diagnosis of this condition, to investigate alternative splicing in POU1F1 as well as in other genes.
最近的研究表明,与 POU1F1 突变相关的联合垂体激素缺乏有一个新的机制,改变了选择性剪接的平衡,导致 POU1F1 的β同工型过度表达。这些研究强调了生物学家在这种情况下进行常规分子诊断时,需要研究 POU1F1 以及其他基因的选择性剪接。
