Abstract excerpt
We have prospectively assessed the influence of GHR and VDR gene polymorphisms on the response to rhGH therapy in Venezuelan children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD, n=28) and Turner syndrome (TS, n=25). Clinical data during rhGH treatment were compared in GH and TS patients with different genotypes. PCR amplifications were performed to obtain the genotype frequencies of the polymorphisms. Clinical data at...
