Correlation study between genetic polymorphisms of melanocortin receptors and adrenocorticotropic hormone responsiveness in infantile spasms

Objective To explore the possible correlation between the genetic variations of the melanocortin receptors (MCRs, including MC2R, MC3R and MC4R) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) responsiveness in patients with infantile spasms, and to investigate the function of single nucleotide polymorphism...
