Abstract
It was hypothesized that some children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) may have partial insensitivity to growth hormone (GH). In this study analysis of the GH/IGF-I axis as well as GH receptor (GHR) gene was done in children with ISS to determine the possible underlying factor(s) to their short stature.
