Abstract excerpt
A variety of mutations in the gene encoding the GHRH receptor (GHRHR) that are predicted to alter protein structure or function have been recently described in patients with isolated GH deficiency type IB. In the present report we describe a patient with isolated GH deficiency type IB who was heterozygous for two novel mutations in this gene: a missense mutation in codon 329 that replaces lysine with glutamic...
