Growth Hormone in a Patient With a Dominant-Negative GHR Mutation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective interventional study designed for a single patient with a dominant-negative mutation in the growth hormone receptor gene (GHR) which results in increased levels of growth hormone binding protein (GHBP). The patient will receive escalating doses of growth hormone titrated to achieve an insulin like growth factor-1 level above the mean and then growth response to therapy will be monitored.
