Abstract excerpt
Isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) is a rare disorder that occurs as an idiopathic form in most cases. The pathway JAK/STAT promotes cellular growth and it could be implicated in this condition. In order to characterize IGHD in the pediatric population and identify genes differently expressed before and after GH therapy, we performed a quantitative evaluation of 84 genes related to the JAK/STAT pathway which, by...
