Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental disorders
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges in social interaction and communication, alongside restricted or repetitive behaviors.
  • Hypopituitarism, a deficiency in pituitary hormone production, can lead to various developmental and metabolic issues.
  • The co-occurrence of ASD and hypopituitarism is exceptionally rare, with no prior documented cases.
