A rare genetic non-acquired combined pituitary hormone deficiency disorder with characteristics of panhypopituitarism (with or without adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency) associated with spine abnormalities, including frequent rigid cervical spine and short neck with limited rotation and variable degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. The anterior pituitary gland is usually abnormal (typically hypoplastic) and rarely a mild developmental delay or intellectual disability may be associated. There is evidence this disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the LHX3 gene on chromosome 9q34.
