Abstract excerpt
Two families with familial isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) were studied, type II (autosomal dominant) and type I (autosomal recessive), whose GH1 genes exhibit cosegregation with IGHD. DNA sequencing of the GH1 genes of the first family (IGHD II) demonstrated heterozygosity for a T-->C transition in the sixth base of the donor splice site of intron III. The GH1 gene mutation in the second family (IGHD I) was found,...
