No gold standard pharmacological stimulation test exists for the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

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.File in questo prodotto:
