ISOLATED GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY TYPE IB

Alternate names

ISOLATED GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY TYPE IB Is also known as ighd1b, formerly, congenital isolated growth hormone deficiency type ib, congenital ighd type ib, congenital isolated gh deficiency type ib, dwarfism of sindh, isolated growth hormone deficiency, type ib, formerly

Description

IGHD type IV is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early and severe growth failure (height SDS up to -7.4), a blunted growth hormone (GH) response to different provocation tests and low insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF1 ) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP3 ) concentrations, and a good response to growth hormone treatment (summary by Alatzoglou et al., 2014).For general phenotypic information and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of IGHD, see {262400}.

Most common symptoms of ISOLATED GROWTH HORMONE DEFICIENCY TYPE IB

  • Short stature
  • Growth delay
  • Frontal bossing
  • Obesity
