The growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) plays a critical role in growth. We identified three nominally unrelated kindreds harboring the identical mutation (E72X) inGHRHR, the gene that encodes GHRHR; all three families originated in the Indian subcontinent. Because of the relative geographic proximity of these populations, we employed haplotype analysis in the region ofGHRHRto determine the likelihood that this mutation occurred in a common ancestor rather than having occurred on separate occasions in different individuals. Members of all three kindreds segregating the E72X mutation were genotyped for highly polymorphic dinucleotide repeat microsatellites in a 15.5 centimorgan (cM) region aroundGHRHRon chromosome 7p15. We conclude that the affected individuals share a common ancestor, and we use the association with linked markers to estimate the age of this unique mutation. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
