Short stature is a characteristic feature of pycnodysostosis. We report defective growth hormone secretion in response to provocation and low insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentration in five out of six patients with pycnodysostosis. Physiological replacement with growth hormone increased IGF-I concentration and improved linear growth in these children.
身材矮小是致密性成骨不全症的一个特征性表现。我们报告了6例致密性成骨不全症患者中有5例在激发试验中生长激素分泌存在缺陷且胰岛素样生长因子-I(IGF-I)浓度较低。对这些儿童进行生长激素的生理性替代治疗可提高IGF-I浓度并改善线性生长。
