Abstract excerpt
Familial isolated GH deficiency type II (IGHD II) is caused, in some cases, by heterogeneous IVS3 mutations that affect GH mRNA splicing. We report here our finding an A-->G transition of the fifth base of exon 3 (E3+ 5 A-->G) in affected individuals from an IGHD II family. This mutation disrupts a (GAA)(n) exon splice enhancer (ESE) motif immediately following the weak IVS2 3' splice site. The mutation also...
