The GH/IGF-1 axis plays an important role in the acquisition of longitudinal height but also in regulating fat metabolism. GH exerts its effects through specific binding to its receptor, the GH receptor (GHR), on target cells and activating multiple signaling pathways, leading to changes in cell gene expression and function. Any dysregulation in this axis can lead to pathophysiological consequences. For example, it is well known that a dysfunctional GHR protein leads to the Laron syndrome, characterized by proportional short stature and increased abdominal fat. Idiopathic short stature (ISS), a less drastic phenotype, occurs in 1-2% of the human population and is characterized by an average height >2 SD below the mean but a normal endocr...
