The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene was analyzed in a population of children with growth disorders presenting normal GH and low IGF-I. We thus tried to detect any mutation in the IGF-I gene that could be responsible for short stature in children, using PCR, single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, followed by DNA cloning and sequencing. We demonstrated in all examined children significant changes in the promoter region of the IGF-I gene (P1 IGF-I). Nucleotide sequence changes, such as CC--&gt;GT and A--&gt;G, and their localization are described. The results obtained excluded mutations in the coding sequence of the IGF-I gene. We conclude that testing the IGF-I P1 region, using PCR/SSCP analysis, could be useful in the diagnosis of growth disorders.
