Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic microsatellite dinucleotide (cytosine-adenine, CA) repeats of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene may have implications in the development of certain types of cancer and osteoporosis. We studied correlations between IGF-I genotypes determined by direct sequencing and plasma IGF-I levels among 113 healthy individuals (60 men and 53 women), who were originally enrolled as controls for...
