Abstract excerpt
Mutational analysis of the growth hormone 1 (GH1) gene and its promoter in a patient with GH neurosecretory dysfunction (GHND) revealed a heterozygous new deletion of one base 7-bp downstream from the 3'-splice site of exon 4 (IVS4'del+7) of the GH1 gene and two new heterozygous mutations at sites -135 and -138 of the GH1 promoter. In addition, two polymorphisms at sites -301 and -308 of the GH1 promoter were...
