Abstract
A deficiency of human growth hormone not associated with other pituitary deficiencies was observed in midgets with sexual ateliosis, a form of dwarfism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Body proportions, sexual development, birth weight, and postpartum lactation are normal in this syndrome.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
