Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There is great interindividual variability in the response to GH therapy. Ascertaining genetic factors can improve the accuracy of growth response predictions. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-2 is an intracellular negative regulator of GH receptor (GHR) signaling. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to assess the influence of a SOCS2 polymorphism (rs3782415) and its interactive effect...
