E180splice mutation in the growth hormone receptor gene in a Chilean family with growth hormone insensitivity: a probable common Mediterranean ancestor.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the GH receptor gene have been identified as the cause of growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a rare autosomal recessive disorder. We studied the clinical and biochemical characteristics and the coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries of the GH receptor gene in a consanguineous family with severe short stature which consisted of two patients, their parents and five siblings. The two...
