Growth hormone deficiency in Dubowitz syndrome.

Department of Pediatrics, Ibaraki Children's Hospital, Japan.

Severe short stature as a result of intra-uterine growth retardation is one of the characteristics of Dubowitz syndrome. There have been few reports elaborating growth hormone secretory status in this syndrome. A child with Dubowitz syndrome, who was found to have complete growth hormone (GH) deficiency and who responded to growth hormone therapy, is described. This appears to be the first documentation of GH deficiency in this syndrome.
