Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic background of Growth Hormone (GH) secretion is not well understood. Mutations giving rise to a stop codon have a high likelihood of affecting protein function. OBJECTIVES: To analyze likely functional stop codon mutations that are associated with fasting plasma concentration of Growth Hormone. METHODS: We analyzed stop codon mutations in 5451 individuals in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study...
