Growth Hormone Therapy
Growth hormone therapy may be necessary for some of the population
Where does normal pathway deviate in response to growth hormone?

Growth Hormone Pathway
Problems associated with pathway
•Lack of growth hormone production
•Problems with the growth hormone receptor (GHR)
•Downstream components
GHR and downstream components are obvious choices for study on problems associated with growth hormone sensitivity

Growth Hormone Receptor

Growth Hormone Receptor Variant allele d3-GHR
Isoform lacking exon 3 Exon 3 codes for 22aaConserved in mammalian species
important role in protein function
Possible loss of glycosylation siteDifference in receptor domain due to change in
highly conserved amino acid at end of exon 2Dominant over full length isoform

Isoform Response to GH
Children chosen with normal growth hormone levels
•Short for Gestational Age (SGA) – small birth size
•Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS) – normal birth size, slow growth

Data Collection
•Growth rate monitored for first two years of hormone administration
•Individuals tested for GHR genotype
•Only subjects of European origin used in study
•Response to growth hormone measured

Response to GH

Response to GH
Striking increase in response to GH in children carrying at least one d3-GHR allele

Linear Regression Model
GHR genotype has a significant effect on growth acceleration
•(P<10-6 for first year, P<0.005 for second year)
•Nine other tested polymorphisms had no correlation

Activities of GHR and d3-GHR
Transfected 293 HEK fibroblasts with full length GHR, d3-GHR, or GHR/d3-GHR
LHRE-luciferase assay used Cells exposed to varying GH levels Consistent higher induction of reporter
construct by d3-GHR (~30%)GH levels used were low to ensure in vivo
relevance

Relevance Recent recombinant GH use approved by
FDA and ERA for children Genotyping for a single polymorphism can
be carried out efficiently Personalized dose regimen can reduce
costs and improve treatment success Half of people of European descent are
heterozygous or homozygous for d3-GHR

Conclusion
Individuals with d3-GHR isoform have ~twice the growth rate in response to GH as homozygous GHR subjects
This isoform is present at high levels in the human population (~50%)
Efficient cost effective genotyping can lead to improved treatment regimens for patients
