Abstract excerpt
DNA obtained from the blood cells of 88 adolescent patients with short stature, with low blood serum IGF-I concentrations, normal growth hormone (GH) secretion and normal GH receptor (GHR) structure, was analyzed in the promoter region for the IGF-I gene. A total of 24 genetic variants was detected in the DNA of 13 patients. An attempt was also made to analyze the impact of identified mutations on DNA-protein...
