Correlation of fl/d3 polymorphism of growth hormone receptor with the first- and second-year response to recombinant human growth hormone therapy in pre-pubertal Greek children with idiopathic isolated growth hormone deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: fl/d3 polymorphism in human GH receptor was correlated with the response to GH therapy in different groups of children with short stature. AIM: This is a 2-yr retrospective study which evaluates the influence of fl/d3 polymorphism to the 1st-and 2nd-year response to GH replacement therapy in Greek children with isolated GH deficiency (GHD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total number of 195 pre-pubertal...
