Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency (IGHD) due to GH1 gene defects has a variable inheritance pattern: autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and X-linked. the autosomal dominantly inherited form, IGHD II, is mainly caused by heterozygous mutations of splicing around the exon 3/IVs3 boundary region of the GH1 gene resulting in exon 3 skipping of transcripts …
