GH Responsiveness in Children With Noonan Syndrome Compared to Turner Syndrome

BackgroundDespite different genetic background, Noonan syndrome (NS) shares similar phenotype features to Turner syndrome (TS) such as short stature, webbed neck and congenital heart defects. TS is an entity with decreased growth hormone (GH) responsiveness. Whether this is found in NS is debated.Me...
