The Role of GPR101 in Human Growth

Stratakis Constantine , Faucz Fabio , Trivellin Giampaolo

We recently showed that Xq26.3 microduplications are associated with early childhood-onset gigantism, a condition we named X-linked acrogigantism (X-LAG). Patients with X-LAG present with mixed GH/PRL secreting pituitary macroadenomas and/or hyperplasia. The original smallest region of overlap for the microduplications included 4 coding genes, of which only one, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor named GPR101, was highly expressed in tumors. A single patient with GP...
