Somatomedin C deficiency in Asian sisters.

M E McGraw, D A Price, D J Hill
PMCID: PMC1778201  PMID: 2434036

Abstract

Two sisters of Asian origin showed typical clinical and biochemical features of primary somatomedin C (SM-C) deficiency (Laron dwarfism). Abnormalities of SM-C binding proteins were observed, one sister lacking the high molecular weight (150 Kd) protein.
