clinical and hormonal milieu of 9 patients with primary growth hormone insensitivity syndrome and their response to igf-i generation test
نویسندگان
چکیده
primary growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (ghis) is a rare entity which can be due to defects in growth hormone (gh) receptor that is called type 1 laron syndrome (t1ls) or post receptor defects (type 2 laron syndrome ). the aim of study was determining the clinical and hormonal milieu of the patients with primary ghis and their response to igf-i (insulin like growth factor-i) generation test (igt). gh, igf-i, igf-ii, igf binding protein 1 and 3 (bp-1 and bp-3), gh binding protein (ghbp) and anti-gh antibody were detected by elisa and ria methods. igf-i and bp-3 were measured before and after igt. nine patients (8 males, 1 female) (mean age ± sd, 6.4 ± 5 years) with severe short stature and high gh level were studied. height sds was - 8.5 ± 2.6. in 7 patients ghbp was zero, igf-i and bp-3 were low and did not increase after igt, so they had t1ls. two brothers did not show the hormonal milieu of gh receptor defect, and were called non laron syndrome (nls). birth weight in patients with t1ls and nls was 3.65 ± 0.2 kg and 1.65 ± 0.2 kg, respectively (p = 0.001). all of the patients had typical clinical feature of gh-deficiency, but nasal bridge depression and microphallus were not seen in nls. gh treatment of nls, normalized their growth velocity, but without catch up growth. in conclusion igt can differentiate laron syndrome from other types of short stature. gh and igf-i of fetus have no role in intrauterine growth.

Objectives. To evaluate, in children with Silver-Russell Syndrome, the response to the IGF-I and IGFBP-3 generation test and compare results to the growth response after 6 months of rhGH. Methods. Eight children (6 males), with a mean age of 5.71 ± 2.48 years and height SDS of -3.88 ± 1.28 received rhGH for 6 months. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were analyzed before and after 4 doses of rhGH. Results.

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولPrimary growth hormone insensitivity and psychomotor delay
We report a case of short stature irresponsive to growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy. Low GH response to provocative tests and undetectable IGF-1 levels had suggested GH deficiency, while response to therapy indicated GH insensitivity. Molecular evaluation of the GH/IGF-1 axis should be performed in these cases to improve diagnosis and therapy.
متن کاملGenetic Defects in the Growth Hormone–IGF-I Axis Causing Growth Hormone Insensitivity and Impaired Linear Growth
Human genetic defects in the growth hormone (GH)-IGF-I axis affecting the IGF system present with growth failure as their principal clinical feature. This is usually associated with GH insensitivity (GHI) presenting in childhood as severe or mild short stature. Dysmorphic features and metabolic abnormalities may also be present. The field of GHI due to mutations affecting GH action has evolved ...
