Abstract excerpt
GH insensitivity (GHI) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the GH receptor (GHR). In a 17-yr-old female with severe short stature and biochemical features of GHI, sequencing of GHR gene revealed a compound heterozygosity for two novel mutations: C83X and a G deletion at position 1776 (1776del). 1776del is predicted to result in GHR truncation to 581 amino acids with a nonsense sequence of...
