Partial Primary Deficiency of Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I Activity Associated withIGF1Mutation Demonstrates Its Critical Role in Growth and Brain Development

Abstract: This first report of mild deficiency of IGF-I activity demonstrates that the integrity of IGF-I signaling is important for normal growth and brain development. Molecular defects leading to partial loss of IGF-I activity may not be uncommon in patients born small for gestational age. The characterization of this complex phenotype and identification of such molecular defects have therapeutic implications, particularly now that, in addition to GH, recombinant IGF-I is available for clinical use.

“…All the reported IGF‐1 gene defects in viable humans have been associated with microcephaly and developmental delay (36, 40,S64–66) (Table 1). There is improved general growth with IGF‐1 treatment, including brain growth, which is reflected in increased head circumferences in children with growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (S67,S68).…”

“…Severe IGF1 deficiency due to a homozygous mutation in the IGF1 gene results in intrauterine and postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, intellectual disability, and deafness (3,4,5,6). Mutations in the IGF1R gene in the heterozygous state have been recently described as a cause of IUGR (7) and lead to partial resistance to IGF1 and contribute to IUGR with postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, and normal or increased levels of serum IGF1 and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), sometimes associated with modestly impaired intellectual development (8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21).…”
