Abstract excerpt
A G - C transversion at the fifth nucleotide of intron 3 of GH-I gene was identified in a sporadic case of isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). The mutation was absent in both of the parents, indicating that the mutation occurred de novo. An abnormal hGH mRNA lacking a region encoded by exon 3 was spliced when the mutant GH-I gene was expressed in cultured cells. Since skipping of exon 3 is a common feature...
