Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In most patients, the genetic cause of isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) is unknown. By identifying several genes associated with height variability within the normal population, three separate genome-wide association studies provided new candidate genes for human growth disorders. We selected two of them for genetic screening of our IGHD population. AIM: We aimed to determine whether high-mobility group...
