Abstract excerpt
The aim of this review was to describe all of the mutations in the growth hormone receptor (GHR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) genes that have been discovered so far, and their possible impact on final body height, as well as their relationship with catch-up growth in children born small for gestational age (SGA). Mutations in the GHR gene were found to cause a body height below -2 SD, from...
