A common growth hormone receptor polymorphism with deletion of exon 3 (d3-GHR) has previously been linked to increased postnatal growth on the one hand and decreased fetal growth on the other. Regulation of fetal growth is positively dependent on secretion of placental GH (hGH-V). We explored the effect of the fetal d3-GHR genotype on maternal serum levels of hGH-V and fetal growth. The cellular localization of hGH-V synthesis and the GH receptors were determined in normal placentas. 43 healthy mother-child pairs were examine
