GH deficiency status combined with GH receptor polymorphism affects response to GH in children
Meta-analysis has shown a modest improvement in first-year growth response to recombinant human GH (r-hGH) for carriers of the exon 3-deleted GH receptor (GHRd3) polymorphism but with significant interstudy variability. The associations between GHRd3 and growth response to r-hGH over 3 years in relation to severity of GH deficiency (GHD) were investigated in patients from 14 countries. Treatmen...

The knowledge acquired during this time has been compiled into different guidelines that offer clinicians an evidence-based, pr...
متن کاملComparison between the growth response to growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with partial GH insensitivity or mild GH deficiency.
OBJECTIVES GH therapy is still controversial, except in severe GH deficiency (SGHD). The objective of this study was to compare the response to growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with partial GH insensitivity (PGHIS) and mild GH deficiency (MGHD) with those with SGHD. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifteen PGHIS, 11 MGHD, and 19 SGHD subjects, followed up for more than one year in the Brazilian pu...
متن کاملLong-term results of GH therapy in GH-deficient children treated before 1 year of age.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term effects of GH therapy in early diagnosed GH-deficient patients treated before 1 year of age. STUDY DESIGN We studied all 59 patients (33 males) recorded by Association France-Hypophyse and treated with GH (0.50+/-0.15 IU/kg (S.D.) per week) before 1 year of age. Clinical presentation and growth parameters under GH treatment were analyzed. RESULTS Neonata...
