Endocrine Phenotype and GH1 Sequence Variation in Children with Short Stature: Five-Year Growth Outcomes of Growth Hormone Therapy
Background: Growth hormone (GH) stimulation tests have limited diagnostic precision in childhood short stature (SS), and the relationships among endocrine phenotype, GH1 variation, and long-term treatment response remain unclear. We examined the clinical, endocrine, genetic, and five-year growth outcomes of children re...
