Defective growth hormone secretion and hypogonadism in the new syndrome of congenital hypoparathyroidism, growth failure and dysmorphic features

A T Soliman et al. Indian J Pediatr. 1996 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A child with extreme growth failure, dysmorphic features, hypoparathyroidism, and abnormal skeletal survey was studied. He was a product of first degree consaguineous marriage who had intrauterine growth retardation and presented at 14 days of age with hypocalcemic tetany with normal cardiovascular system and immune function. Endocrine evaluation after infancy revealed defective growth hormone (GH) secretion in 2 provocation tests and lack of clinical and testosterone response to human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) therapy.
