Abstract
In a Jewish Moroccan inbred family, 8 of 12 siblings had multiple deficiencies of pituitary hormones, including GH [growth hormone], TSH [thyrotropin] and gonadotropins. The parents showed no deficiency and are in good health as are 4 other siblings. In this family, the disease is probably autosomal recessive and the defect is located in the pituitary gland.Keywords
