In multivariate logistic regression analysis fasting GH concentration <8.63 μg/L, maximal tumor diameter <15.5mm, normoprolactinemia and DG tumor turned out to be independent predictors of surgical remission (OR=0.92, p=0.026; OR=0.87, p=0.069, OR=3.86, p=0.096 and OR=3.05, p=0.181, respectively). The gene discussed is GH1; the disease is neoplasm.
