Final height in growth-hormone-treated children with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency: the Malaysian experience.
479 INTRODUCTION Growth hormone has been used in the treatment of short stature since 1957 . Prior to 1985, human cadaver-derived pituitary growth hormone was used. Recombinant human growth hormone which was approved in 1985 made available a reliable, virtually unlimited resource to replace human pituitary growth hormone (which was withdrawn due to reported cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). ...
متن کاملFive-year response to growth hormone in children with Noonan syndrome and growth hormone deficiency
BACKGROUND Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by specific features including short stature, distinctive facial dysmorphic features, congenital heart defects, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, skeletal anomalies and webbing of the neck. Molecular screening has shown that the majority of individuals with NS have a mutation in the PTPN11 gene. Noonan syndrome children ...
متن کاملAdult height in children with growth hormone deficiency who are treated with biosynthetic growth hormone: the National Cooperative Growth Study experience.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the height gain during puberty in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) who are treated with biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) is similar to that in otherwise healthy children with delayed bone ages and whether the height standard deviation score (SDS), which began to increase before puberty, continues to increase during puberty. METHODS The inclusion cri...
متن کاملNovel Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone Receptor Gene Mutations in Turkish Children with Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency
OBJECTIVE Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) is defined as a medical condition associated with growth failure due to insufficient production of GH or lack of GH action. Mutations in the gene encoding for GH-releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) have been detected in patients with IGHD type IB. However, genetic defects on GHRHR causing IGHD in the Turkish population have not yet been reporte...
متن کاملCurrent dosing of growth hormone in children with growth hormone deficiency: how physiologic?
The current doses of recombinant growth hormone (rGH) are two to three times those used in the pituitary growth hormone era. These rGH doses (0.025 to 0.043 mg/kg/d) are similar to or moderately greater than the physiologic requirements. Growth velocity and height gains have been shown to be greater with 0.05 mg/kg/d of rGH than with 0.025 mg/kg/d. Larger doses of GH and early initiation of tre...
