Human diseases caused by Ghsr mutations

The analysis uses data from IMPC, along with published data on other mouse mutants, in comparison to human disease reports in OMIM, Orphanet, and DECIPHER.

Phenotype comparisons summarize the similarity of mouse phenotypes with human disease phenotypes.

The table below shows human diseases associated to Ghsr by orthology or direct annotation.

Disease Similarity of

Short Stature Due To Ghsr Deficiency
Hypoglycemia, Abnormality of body weight, Decreased body weight ORPHA:314811
Growth Hormone Deficiency, Isolated Partial
Small pituitary gland, Decreased response to growth hormone stimulation test OMIM:615925
