Abstract excerpt
In two patients with growth hormone (GH) insensitivity syndrome (Laron syndrome), in whom the GH receptor is able to bind the hormone, the D152H mutation was identified, and lack of dimerization was proposed to explain GH resistance in these patients. To examine further the consequences of the su...
