Familial growth hormone releasing factor deficiency in pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism

H F Stirling et al. Arch Dis Child. 1991 Apr.

Abstract

A mother with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and her short son showed poor spontaneous growth hormone secretion, and provocation tests suggested a deficiency of growth hormone releasing factor. This is the first report of growth hormone releasing factor deficiency in pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. The boy has responded well to growth hormone treatment over a period of three years.
