Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Ghrelin and its receptor, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), have key roles in appetite control and growth regulation. To date, only few mutations of GHSR have been identified in children with obesity and short stature. We hypothesized that mutations in ghrelin or GHSR will result in disrupted growth and weight regulation in children. DESIGN: A total of 98 subjects (38 females and...
