No gold standard pharmacological stimulation test exists for the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). In addition, the genetic factors that influence growth hormone (GH) responses remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether polymorphisms in exon 6 of the GH receptor gene influence responses to the L-arginine GH stimulation test.

Abstract

No gold standard pharmacological stimulation test exists for the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). In addition, the genetic factors that influence growth hormone (GH) responses remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether polymorphisms in exon 6 of the GH receptor gene influence responses to the L-arginine GH stimulation test.
