Epidermal growth factor (EGF) was found to induce a rapid 2-fold increase in the amount of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) mRNA in human hepatoma Hep2G cells, and this was accompanied by a 2-fold increase in IGFBP-1 secretion.

Using a group of highly polymorphic short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRP), including a new tetranucleotide repeat for epidermal growth factor (EGF), significant linkage of Rieger syndrome to 4q markers has been identified.
