We report on a boy with a ring 18 chromosome associated with hypothalamic growth hormone (GH) deficiency. A 12-month trial of GH replacement therapy (0.5 U/kg/week) resulted in a marked growth acceleration. Our findings emphasise the need of evaluating GH secretion in patients with abnormalities of the 18 chromosome.
我们报告了一名患有18号环状染色体并伴有下丘脑生长激素(GH)缺乏症的男孩。为期12个月的GH替代治疗(0.5 U/kg/周)试验导致了显著的生长加速。我们的研究结果强调了对18号染色体异常患者评估GH分泌的必要性。
