OBJECTIVE: Heterogeneity in growth hormone (GH) responsiveness in adult hypopituitary patients receiving recombinant human GH (rhGH) is poorly understood; doses vary up to fourfold between individuals.

We investigated the role of the d3-GHR polymorphism in determining adult rhGH responsiveness. METHODS: One...
