Abstract excerpt
Most patients with hereditary isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) are either heterozygous or homozygous for a growth hormone (GH) gene abnormality. GH1 gene deletions (6.7 and 7.6 kb) from eight Japanese families with IGHD type IA has been detected by Southern blot analysis or polymerase chain reaction and Smal digestion. Heterozygous point mutations at the donor splice site of intron 3 in the GH1 gene have...
