Background: The methylation of IGF1 promoter P2 was reported to negatively correlate with serum IGF-1 concentration and rhGH treatment response in children with idiopathic short stature. These findings have not yet been confirmed.Objective: This study aimed to determine IGF1 promoter P2 methylation in short children treated with rhGH and correlate clinical parameters with the methylation status. In addition, long-term st...
