GH secretagogue receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with stature throughout childhood.

European journal of endocrinology - 1 Jun 2012

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Ghrelin plays a major role in GH physiology and energy metabolism. Polymorphisms of its receptor (GH secretagogue receptor (GHSR)) may influence childhood growth and weight regulation. OBJECTIVE: To correlate GHSR polymorphisms with auxological parameters throughout childhood in a healthy cohort. STUDY DESIGN: Longitudinal retrospective population-based genetic association study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:...
