LARON SYNDROME

Alternate names

LARON SYNDROME Is also known as complete growth hormone insensitivity, primary growth hormone insensitivity, gh receptor deficiency, growth hormone receptor deficiency, laron-type dwarfism, short stature due to growth hormone resistance, pituitary dwarfism ii, primary growth hormone resistance

Description

Laron syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by marked short stature associated with normal or high serum growth hormone (GH) and low serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) levels which fail to rise after exogenous GH administration.

Most common symptoms of LARON SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Micrognathia
  • Abnormal facial shape
  • Motor delay
  • Brachydactyly

GROWTH HORMONE INSENSITIVITY WITH IMMUNODEFICIENCY

Alternate names

GROWTH HORMONE INSENSITIVITY WITH IMMUNODEFICIENCY Is also known as growth hormone insensitivity due to postreceptor defect, laron syndrome due to postreceptor defect

Most common symptoms of GROWTH HORMONE INSENSITIVITY WITH IMMUNODEFICIENCY

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Short stature
  • Hearing impairment
  • Growth delay

HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL

Alternate names

HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL Is also known as fh, ldl receptor disorder, hyper-low-density-lipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemic xanthomatosis, familial, fhc, hyperlipoproteinemia, type iia, hyperlipoproteinemia, type ii

Description

Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by elevation of serum cholesterol bound to low density lipoprotein (LDL), which promotes deposition of cholesterol in the skin (xanthelasma), tendons (xanthomas), and coronary arteries (atherosclerosis). The disorder occurs in 2 clinical forms: homozygous and heterozygous (summary by Hobbs et al., 1992).

Most common symptoms of HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL

  • Pain
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Dilatation
  • Stroke
  • Myocardial infarction

SHORT STATURE DUE TO PARTIAL GHR DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

SHORT STATURE DUE TO PARTIAL GHR DEFICIENCY Is also known as short stature due to partial growth hormone receptor deficiency

Description

Short stature due to partial GHR deficiency is a rare, genetic, endocrine disease characterized by idiopathic short stature due to diminished GHR function (decreased ligand binding or reduced availability of receptor), thus resulting in partial insensitivity to growth hormone.

Most common symptoms of SHORT STATURE DUE TO PARTIAL GHR DEFICIENCY

  • Short stature
  • Growth delay
  • Midface retrusion
  • Delayed skeletal maturation
  • Hypoglycemia

GROWTH HORMONE INSENSITIVITY, PARTIAL; GHIP

Most common symptoms of GROWTH HORMONE INSENSITIVITY, PARTIAL; GHIP

  • Short stature
  • Failure to thrive
  • Vomiting
  • Delayed skeletal maturation
  • Abdominal pain
