“…A prevalence of GH deficiency of 2.5% has been reported (Cnossen et al, ) and the loss of a critical role of neurofibromin in hypothalamic‐pituitary axis function was hypothesized as the pathogenic basis of this phenomenon (Hegedus et al, ). By contrast, mild somatic overgrowth has been observed in some NF1 microdeletion patients (Ning et al, ). In children with NF1 and OPG, central precocious puberty (CPP), leading to transient rapid growth with reduced final height, is considered the most common endocrinopathy (Habiby, Silverman, Listernick, & Charrow, 1995) and only few cases of GH excess (GHE), mainly associated to CPP, have been reported (Costin, Fefferman, & Kogut, ; Crawford & Buckler, ; Duchowny, Katz, & Bejar, ; Manski, Haworth, Duval‐Arnould, & Rushing, ; Fuqua & Berkovitz, ; Drimmie et al, ; Drake, Lowis, Bouffet, & Crowne, ; Main, Sehested, & Feldt‐Rasmussen, ; Josefson, Listernick, Fangusaro, Charrow, & Habiby, ; Bruzzi, Sani, & Albanese, ).…”
