Clinical and biochemical phenotype of Indian children with different types of idiopathic growth hormone deficiency and their association with pituitary height on MRI

Background and Objectives: Differentiation of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) into various types has been made based on peak stimulated growth hormone levels and other hormone axis involvement. The data regarding how this classification is associated with variation in clinical and biochemical phenot...

The data regarding how this classification is associated with variation in clinical and biochemical phenotype and how these findings associate with pituitary morphology remains sparse, especially in the Indian population. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain the differences in the pattern of auxological, clinical features including pituitary hypoplasia, and endocrinological profile among patients with severe GHD, partial GHD, and MPHD in the Indian population and to evaluate the association of pituitary height with various clinical and hormonal parameters. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 100 patients with idiopathic GHD. Patients were grouped into severe GHD, partial GHD, and MPHD to observe the differences in clinical, biochemical, and MRI findings. The pituitary height findings were correlated clinical and biochemical presentation. Results: MPHD subjects had a significantly higher frequency of breech delivery, neonatal jaundice, neonatal hypoglycemia, and micropenis. A significant difference was observed in the chronological age, bone age retardation (CA-BA), height SDS, weight SDS, peak GH response, IGF-1, IGF-1 SDS, and prevalence of pituitary hypoplasia, pituitary height, and pituitary height SDS among these three groups. In the composite population of GHD, pituitary height SDS was correlated with peak GH, basal IGF-I SDS, and body height SDS. Conclusion: The clinical and biochemical phenotype differs significantly among the various types of GHD. Pituitary height correlates with these findings and is helpful in further assessment of these patients.Himanshu SharmaSandeep Kumar MathurNaincy PurwarRahul SahlotUmesh GargBalram SharmaWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticlegrowth hormone deficiency (ghd)phenotypepituitary heightDiseases of the endocrine glands.
