Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) cell auto-antibodies were demonstrated in the serum of a girl with an isochromosome variant of Turner''s syndrome. On 2 occasions she showed an abnormal response of GH release during insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Her response to GH treatment was poor, but this began at a very late bone-age. It is possible that autoimmunity is a new etiological factor for GH deficiency in some cases.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
