Purpose: There is limited data regarding Pituitary Stalk Interruption Syndrome (PSIS) from India. Moreover, the pathophysiological link between perinatal events and PSIS is unclear. We aim to elucidate the predictors of PSIS among patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and perinatal events in PSIS by comparing cohorts of PSIS and genetically proven GHD without PSIS.

Whether increasing the insert thickness and reducing the posterior tibial slope corrects the loss of rotation without extension loss and undesirable anterior lift-off of the insert is unknown. In 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric knees, an MS design with a medial ball-in-socket (i.

Aim: To describe phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of POU1F1 mutations in our CPHD cohort and present systematic review as well as genotype-phenotype analysis of all mutation-positive cases reported in world literature.
Context: Regional variation in prevalence of genetic mutations in growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is known.
Aim: Study phenotype and prevalence of mutations in GH1, GHRHR, POU1F1, PROP1 genes in GHD cohort.
Methods: One hundred and two patients {Isolated GHD (IGHD): 79; combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD): 23} with orthotopic posterior pituitary were included.
