ABSTRACT
We describe 19 males with Aarskog syndrome who were treated with growth hormone (GH) and enrolled in the National Cooperative Growth Study (NCGS). There was a significant increase in both growth rate (3.9 +/- 1.9 cm/yr vs 8.9 +/- 1.7 cm/yr, p < 0.001) and height SD score (change in HtSDS = 1.0 +/- 0.8). The increase in HtSDS was dependent on treatment duration, frequency of injections, weight-for-height SDS, and HtSDS at enrollment. The results of our study suggest a positive effect of GH treatment on growth and adult height in Aarskog syndrome patients.
