Fanconi's anemia. II. Are multiple endocrine insufficiencies a substantial part of the disease?

P Stubbe et al. Acta Paediatr Scand. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

Three children with Fanconi's anemia belonging to a family where 6 children had the disease were investigated. One child had growth hormone deficiency, a second child showed subnormal response of testosterone to gonadotropin stimulation and the third child had a missing insulin release following arginine. This report shows that growth hormone deficiency is not necessarily liniked with Fanconi's anemia when it occurs in a family. Multiple endocrine insufficiencies do no appear to be part of the disease.
