J Bone Miner Res 36, 2300–2308. (2021)Abstract: https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/34346115/In brief: The genetic basis of human body height is only partly understood. This study combined genome-wide association study (GWAS) data with expression data from specific chondrocyte populations to identify genes responsible for skeletal growth. They found strong a...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020;105:3203–3214. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa443. PMID: 32652002The authors performed a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) to assess the role of common genetic variants in the response to GH therapy. A total of 614 children treated with GH were included: 276 with idiopathic GHD, 297 with ISS, and 41 born SGA. The findings implicate some novel mechanisms...
