Abstract excerpt
The gene for human growth hormone receptor (hGHR) consists of at least 10 exons, and the corresponding protein is encoded in exons 2-10 which span at least 87 kbp of chromosome 5. Failure to amplify exons 3 and 8 of the hGHR gene from Japanese subjects with the previously reported primers prompted us to determine intron sequences flanking exon 3 and those flanking exon 8 of the hGHR gene, and novel intron...
