Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: A protein polymorphism of the GH receptor (GHR) based on the genomic deletion of exon 3 (d3-GHR) has recently been linked to the magnitude of growth response to high-dose recombinant human GH (rhGH) therapy of short children without GH deficiency. OBJECTIVE: This study tests the novel association in two distinct groups of rhGH-treated patients, short girls with Turner syndrome and short children born...
