Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: To date, 16 IGFALS mutations in 21 patients with acid-labile subunit (ALS) deficiency have been reported. The impact of heterozygosity for IGFALS mutations on growth is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The study evaluates the impact of heterozygous expression of IGFALS mutations on phenotype based on data collected by the International ALS Consortium. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Patient information was derived from the IGFALS...
