Abstract
The response of 13 children with Turner's syndrome to somatrem, 2 IU/day, has been determined for a 4-week period of treatment using knemometric measurements, and compared to 6 months of treatment assessed by conventional auxology. In this small series, knemometry was able to predict those children in whom hGH therapy was not beneficial.Keywords
