Recent advances in Growth Disorders

Stature is one of the widely used indices of overall health and well-being in children. Short stature (SS) can be defined either based on comparison with the normal population (less than 2 SD or the 3rd centile) or with respect to the genetic potential (derived from parental stature) of a given individual.¹
Growth Hormone is the recommended treatment for short stature due to growth disorders.² This portal would bring to you the latest updates in the growth hormone treatment.
