To read the full abstract: Endocrinology. 2019;160:1363–1376.Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPP-A2) is a metalloproteinase which, by cleaving IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5, releases free IGF-I from the ternary complexes and regulates its bioavailability. PAPPA2 gene mutations (p.D643fs25* and p.Ala1033Val) have recently been described in various members of two unrelated fam...
