Response to growth hormone therapy in patients with Turner syndrome

Abstract: ÖzetAmaç: Turner sendromlu hastalarda, boy kısalığı büyüme hormonu ile tedavi edilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Turner sendromlu Türk çocuklarında üç yıllık büyüme hormonu tedavisine yanıtı ve tedavi sırasında büyümeye etki edebilecek etmenlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Büyüme hormonu tedavisi almış 46 Turner sendromlu hastanın tıbbi kayıtları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Karyotip, hastaneye başvuru yaşı, büyüme hormonu tedavisi başlama yaşı, anne ve baba boyları, ayrıca tedavinin başla… Show more

“…The effect of GH treatment on final height in TS is variable and many factors, such as polymorphisms associated with the GH receptor and/or IGFBP3 gene, age at the beginning of treatment, dose of GH, duration of treatment, bone age retardation, maternal X chromosome origin, first year response to target height, and oxandrolone treatment affect the treatment response ( 21 , 22 , 23 ). The IGFBP3 gene promoter region contains several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).…”

“…However, the effect of GH therapy on the final height is substantially variable depending on several clinical and genetic factors such as polymorphisms related with GH receptor and/or IGFBP3 gene, young age, and bone age delay at the start of GH treatment. GH dose, duration of GH treatment, maternal X chromosome origin, target height, and good first-year height response to GH treatment, use of oxandralone and weekly number of injections have also been shown to affect treatment results (40,41,42). Since the growth response is known to decrease over the years of GH treatment, not only the good first-year response to GH therapy but also maintenance of the good response has been considered necessary to be able to achieve final height.…”
