Abstract excerpt
GH secretion and release are complex phenomena depending on activation of several genes, including those encoding GH, GHRH, and its receptor (GHRH-R). The GH gene, which is the most extensively analyzed sequence in patients with familial GH deficiency (GHD), represents the main known target of mutations. To test the involvement of the GHRH-R gene in this disease phenotype, we investigated one candidate Tamoulean...
