  • Title: Growth hormone deficiency caused by pituitary stalk interruption in Fanconi's anemia.
    Author: Dupuis-Girod S, Gluckman E, Souberbielle JC, Brauner R.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2001 Jan; 138(1):129-33. PubMed ID: 11148528.
    Abstract:
    Fanconi's anemia can be associated with growth retardation. We describe biologic growth hormone deficiency, isolated or associated with thyrotropin abnormality, and pituitary stalk interruption syndrome on magnetic resonance imaging of 5 patients with Fanconi's anemia. Growth hormone treatment produced catch-up growth in all cases. These findings suggest a common genetic origin.
