Introduction. We have reported a family with atypical Laron syndrome with no obvious defect in the growth hormone receptor but with an apparent defect in growth hormone (GH) signaling. We aimed to assess how this signaling defect alters GH-dependent gene expression.Methods. Atypical Laron fibroblasts (Lfib) and normal fibroblasts (Nfib) were exposed to 200ng/ml of recombinant GH for 24 hours. mRNA was extracted and reverse transcribed using...
