    Author: Blümel P, Eibl M.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1992 Apr; 140(4):223-6. PubMed ID: 1614448.
    Abstract:
    A 8 year old boy with short stature, low height velocity, mental retardation, cutaneous abnormalities, common variable immunodeficiency and increased chromosomal instability is described. In this patient growth hormone deficiency could be demonstrated by several stimulation tests. Growth hormone treatment increased growth rate from 4 cm/year before therapy to 7.8 cm in the first and 7.1 cm in the second year of treatment. Under therapy no effect on the immunological reactivity could be observed.
