Patients with Growth Hormone Insensitivity have characteristic phenotypic features and severe short stature. The underlying basis are mutations in the growth hormone receptor gene which gives rise to a characteristic hormonal profile. Although a scoring system has been devised for the diagnosis of this disorder, it has not been indisputably validated. The massive expense incurred in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition with suboptimal therapeutic response necessitates a judicious approach in this regard in our country.
生长激素不敏感患者具有特征性的表型特征和严重身材矮小。其根本原因是生长激素受体基因突变,这导致了特征性的激素谱。尽管已经设计了一种评分系统用于诊断这种疾病,但尚未得到无可争议的验证。由于这种疾病的诊断和治疗费用高昂且治疗反应欠佳,在我国,对此需要采取明智的方法。
