In short small-for-gestational-age (SGA) patients, the exon 3-deleted(d3)/full-length (fl)-GHR polymorphism was associated with responsiveness to GH therapy (30-48 microg/kg.d); however, these results were not confirmed for higher GH doses (56-66 microg/kg.d). We hypothesized that higher doses would mask the lower dose differences.
Our objective was to evaluate, in short SGA patients, 2-yr growth response to GH therapy (32.1 +/- 3.8 microg/kg.d) according to exon d3/fl-GHR genotypes.
This was a 2-yr follow-up study.
There was a total of 60 short SGA children (d3/d3 n = 8, d3/fl n = 23, and fl/fl n = 29). There were 11 children that entered puberty during the second follow-up year. Results were evaluated for all patients (group A1, n = 60, 7.7 +/- 2.7 yr) and for patients who remained prepubertal (group A2, n = 49, 6.9 +/- 2.2 yr).
Patients were followed by a single clinical team, and exon d3/fl-GHR genotypes were determined and analyzed in the same hospital.
In groups A1 and A2, growth velocity significantly (P < 0.0001) increased during the first and second years of therapy, as did height sd score (SDS). These increases were similar in each exon d3/fl-GHR genotype. Total 2-yr height gain (cm, SDS) did not differ statistically among genotypes: group A1, 15.0 +/- 2.0 cm and 1.15 +/- 0.45 SDS in d3/d3, 16.0 +/- 2.4 cm and 1.17 +/- 0.51 SDS in d3/fl, 16.1 +/- 2.4 cm and 1.15 +/- 0.53 SDS in fl/fl; and group A2, 15.4 +/- 2.0 cm and 1.03 +/- 0.42 SDS in d3/d3, 15.6 +/- 2.1 cm and 1.22 +/- 0.51 in d3/fl, and 16.2 +/- 2.6 cm and 1.21 +/- 0.56 SDS in fl/fl.
These results did not confirm our hypothesis and show that, in short SGA children, 2-yr growth response to GH therapy 32.1 +/- 3.8 microg/kg.d was similar for each exon d3/fl-GHR genotype carried, as occurred in our previous study using 66 microkg.d.
在短小的小于胎龄儿(SGA)患者中,外显子3缺失(d3)/全长(fl)-生长激素受体(GHR)多态性与生长激素(GH)治疗(30 - 48微克/千克·天)的反应性相关;然而,对于更高的GH剂量(56 - 66微克/千克·天),这些结果未得到证实。我们推测更高剂量会掩盖较低剂量的差异。
我们的目的是在短小SGA患者中,根据外显子d3/fl - GHR基因型评估GH治疗(32.1±3.8微克/千克·天)的2年生长反应。
这是一项为期2年的随访研究。
共有60名短小SGA儿童(d3/d3 n = 8,d3/fl n = 23,fl/fl n = 29)。在第二次随访年中有11名儿童进入青春期。对所有患者(A1组,n = 60,7.7±2.7岁)和仍处于青春期前的患者(A2组,n = 49,6.9±2.2岁)的结果进行了评估。
由单一临床团队对患者进行随访,并在同一医院确定和分析外显子d3/fl - GHR基因型。
在A1组和A2组中,治疗的第一年和第二年生长速度显著增加(P < 0.0001),身高标准差评分(SDS)也是如此。这些增加在每个外显子d3/fl - GHR基因型中相似。2年总身高增加(厘米,SDS)在各基因型之间无统计学差异:A1组,d3/d3为15.0±2.0厘米和1.15±0.45 SDS,d3/fl为16.0±2.4厘米和1.17±0.51 SDS,fl/fl为16.1±2.4厘米和1.15±0.53 SDS;A2组,d3/d3为15.4±2.0厘米和1.03±0.42 SDS,d3/fl为15.6±2.1厘米和1.22±0.51,fl/fl为16.2±2.6厘米和1.21±0.56 SDS。
这些结果未证实我们的假设,并表明,在短小SGA儿童中,对于所携带的每个外显子d3/fl - GHR基因型,GH治疗32.1±3.8微克/千克·天的2年生长反应相似,这与我们之前使用66微克/千克·天的研究结果相同。
