The somatomedin A level in serum was determined in a series of 66 children in whom longitudinal data on body height growth and dental development were available. The series comprised normal children as well as children with some different types of growth disturbances. A high correlation was found between the somatomedin A level and the age at a certain stage of the dental maturity (r equals to minus 0.67) and between the somatomedrin A level and the growth rate at this age (r equals to 0.67). The different groups of patients ranging from pituitary dwarfs to unusually tall children demonstrated a continuous gradient in the correlation between the level of somatomedin A and the different variables of the somatic development.
对66名儿童的血清生长调节素A水平进行了测定，这些儿童均有身高增长和牙齿发育的纵向数据。该系列包括正常儿童以及患有某些不同类型生长障碍的儿童。发现生长调节素A水平与牙齿成熟某一阶段的年龄之间存在高度相关性（r等于 -0.67），且生长调节素A水平与该年龄的生长速率之间也存在高度相关性（r等于0.67）。从垂体性侏儒到异常高大儿童的不同患者组，在生长调节素A水平与身体发育的不同变量之间的相关性上呈现出连续梯度。
