GH-1 gene splicing mutations: molecular basis of hereditary isolated growth hormone deficiency in children.

Abstract excerpt

Children, residents of the Russian Federation, with congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency, were screened for mutations of GH-1 gene, the main gene of this deficiency. Twenty-eight children from 26 families with total congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency were examined. Direct sequencing of GH-1 detected five splicing mutations in intron 2, intron 3, and exon 4, two of them were never described...
