Abstract excerpt
Laron syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by resistance to growth hormone (GH). In 10 patients of different ethnic origins, we have analyzed all the GH receptor (GHR)-coding exons along with their splice junctions and 6 intragenic polymorphic sites defining several GHR gene haplotypes. This allowed us to identify the mutations in the 20 chromosomes studied and to describe a new GHR...
