Isolated GH Deficiency Type II: Knockdown of the Harmful Δ3GH Recovers wt-GH Secretion in Rat Tumor Pituitary Cells

Isolated GH deficiency type II (IGHD II) is the autosomal dominant form of GHD. In the majority of the cases, this disorder is due to specific GH-1 gene mutations that lead to mRNA missplicing and subsequent loss of exon 3 sequences. When misspliced RNA is translated, it produces a toxic 17.5-kDa GH...
