Abstract excerpt
Congenital GH insensitivity syndrome (GHIS) is usually the result of a mutation in the extracellular domain of the GH receptor (GHR). We report one of only a small number of mutations so far identified within the intracellular domain of the GHR. The probands are a 53-yr-old woman, height 114 cm (SD score, -8.7), peak GH 45 microg/liter during hypoglycemia, IGF-I 8.0 microg/liter [normal range (N) N 54-389], IGF...
