Abstract excerpt

Leptin levels may regulate fat metabolism, skeletal growth, and puberty. Leptin gene variants affect risk of obesity, cancer, but their effect on onset of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the phenotype of GHD and ISS may be associated with polymorphism in the leptin gene. The prevalence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the...
