Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genetic factors play an expanding role in understanding growth hormone (GH) disorders, therefore the German KIMS Pharmacogenetics Study was initiated with the aim of genotyping various GH-/IGF-I-axis-related genes of GH-deficient adult patients to investigate genotype:phenotype relationships and response to GH therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 129 consecutively enrolled GH-deficient adult patients were...
