Introduction: Ghrelin binds to its receptor GHSR1A, encoded by GHSR, on somatotrophs of the pituitary. Growth hormone (GH) secretion is enhanced by ghrelin binding as well as the receptor’s constitutive activity. Results from in vitro experiments, knock-out mice, and GWAS suggest that heterozygous loss-of-function of GHSR may be associated with short stature, but observations in case studies are equivocal. We aimed to better ch...

Introduction: Among children with short stature, some show persistent IGF-I levels <-2.0 SDS despite a normal growth hormone (GH) response in a stimulation test. This may be caused by conditions that could benefit from recombinant human GH (rhGH) therapy (e.g. GH neurosecretory dysfunction, bioinactive GH, partial GH insensitivity). Therefore, the IGF-I generation test (IGFIGT) was implemented in 2006 using a national, standardized protocol. Children with a...

Introduction: Health related Quality of Life (QoL) outcome is used as an argument when continuation or stopping growth hormone (GH) treatment is considered in patients with idiopathic isolated growth hormone deficiency (IIGHD) who tested GH sufficient in mid-puberty (inclusion moment for this study).Aim: To assess potential differences in QoL between patients with IIGHD who discontinued treatment and those who continued ...
