20 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP, NPPC) and its receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B, NPR2), are critical for endochondral ossification. A monoallelic NPR2 mutation has been suggested to mildly impair long bone growth. This study was performed to identify the NPR2 mutations in Korean patients with idiopathic short stature (ISS). METHODS: One hundred and sixteen subjects with nonsyndromic ISS...
