Extended haplotypes in the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor gene (GHRHR) are associated with normal variation in height.

Extended haplotypes in the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor gene (GHRHR) are associated with normal variation in height.

Mutations in the gene for growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) cause isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) but this gene has not been found to affect normal variation in height. We performed a whole genome linkage analysis for height in a population from northern Sweden and identifi...
