Genes affected

GHRHR (HGNC:4266): (growth hormone releasing hormone receptor) This gene encodes a receptor for growth hormone-releasing hormone. Binding of this hormone to the receptor leads to synthesis and release of growth hormone. Mutations in this gene have been associated with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD), also known as Dwarfism of Sindh, a disorder characterized by short stature. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala8Glyfs*22) in the GHRHR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GHRHR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12444890, 16355809). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with isolated growth hormone deficiency (PMID: 31231873). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1459534). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
