Phenotypic heterogeneity in familial isolated growth hormone deficiency type I-A. 1984

M A Rivarola, and J A Phillips, and C J Migeon, and J J Heinrich, and B J Hjelle

We studied an Argentinian family of Spanish ancestry in which the parents are of normal height and three of their four children have isolated GH deficiency type I-A. Restriction endonuclease analysis of DNA isolated from leukocytes was done using 32P-labeled human GH (hGH) cDNA sequences as a probe. The three siblings were homozygous, while their parents and the remaining sibling were heterozygous for a deletion of about 7.5 kilobases DNA, which included the normal hGH gene. The phenotype of the affected subjects differed in several respects. There was variation between the homozygotes in birth length and height before hGH treatment and growth responses during long term hGH treatment. Furthermore, heterozygotes in this family had normal height despite their diminished hGH responses to provocative tests.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D005951 Glucose Tolerance Test A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).
