Abstract excerpt
Height, which is partially determined by GH secretion, is genetically influenced. The purpose of this study was to identify polymorphisms in the GH-1 gene, which are associated with altered GH production. The subjects included prepubertal short children with GH insufficiency without gross pituitary abnormalities (n = 43), short children with normal GH secretion (n = 46), and normal adults (n = 294).
