The anterior pituitary produces hormones that regulate growth, development, and reproduction. The ribosomes in the cells of the anterior pituitary are responsible for synthesizing these hormones. If the ribosomes are malformed, the hormones will not be synthesized and the patient will have a deficiency of these hormones. Anti-diuretic hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and not the anterior pituitary, so it would not be affected by this disease.
