However, using exploratory regression models with covariates, a consistent relationship with growth response in both VAL and LTFU was shown for four genes - SOS1 and INPPL1 in GHD and ESR1 and PTPN1 in TS.
For example, in GHD, GRB10 was associated with high response (≥ Q3; P=0.0012), while SOS2 was associated with low response (≤ Q1; P=0.006), while in TS, LHX4 was associated with high response (P=0.0003) and PTPN1 with low response (P=0.0037).
