Birth Size, Postnatal Growth and Growth during Growth Hormone Treatment in Small-for-Gestational-Age Children: Associations with <i>IGF1</i> Gene Polymorphisms and Haplotypes?

Abstract

The -G1245A SNP appeared to be a marker for the well-known -841(CA)(n)/192 bp polymorphism. Haplotype 2, of which the -1245 A allele was the marker, was associated with a smaller head circumference SDS during spontaneous postnatal growth, but not during GH treatment.
