Heterozygous GHR gene mutation in a child with idiopathic short stature [PDF]
Several monogenic defects have been reported to be associated with idiopathic short stature. Focusing on growth hormone receptor (GHR)-gene alterations, the heterozygosity of the same gene defect may be associated with a range of growth deficits.
