Sex-specific phenotypic effects and evolutionary history of an ancient polymorphic deletion of the human growth hormone receptor

The common deletion of the third exon of the growth hormone receptor gene (GHRd3) in humans is associated with birth weight, growth after birth, and time of puberty. However, its evolutionary history and the molecular mechanisms through which it affects phenotypes remain unresolved. We present evide...
