  • Title: [Selective ACTH deficiency in two siblings (author's transl)].
    Author: Lücking T, Wilig RP.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1975 Dec 26; 100(52):2646-9. PubMed ID: 173514.
    Abstract:
    In a previous report (Dtsch. med. Wschr. 97 [1972], 1943) the case of a 5-year-old boy had been described who, at autopsy, was found to have severe adrenocortical hypoplasia and absence of ACTH-producing R-cells of the anterior pituitary. On examining other members of his family, his 3 1/2-year old brother was found to have selective ACTH deficiency with secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. This is the first published report of two siblings with selective ACTH deficiency, presumably on a hereditary basis.
