Conclusions Genetic markers of severe primary IGF-I deficiency: - GH receptor defects - STAT5b defects - ALS defects - IGF-I defect Birth size and head circumference are essential for differentiating between GH receptor or GH signaling vs. IGF-I.
Conclusions STAT5B deficiency does not always include immunodeficiency, but is associated with hyperprolactinemia. ALS deficiency causes moderate postnatal growth retardation, suggesting an important role for local IGF-I. Homozygous IGF-I defects are characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly and deafness.
