Digital technologies to improve the precision of paediatric growth disorder diagnosis and management

View the article published in the Growth Hormone & IGF Research journal that summarises the webinar discussion on the role of digital health in growth disorders.

Women diagnosed with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia during childhood or adolescence do not typically reach their target height, but this is not related to glucocorticoid treatment duration and dose, research shows.
Genetic variations in genes regulating the growth plate appear to play a “central role” in the aetiology of persistent short stature among children born small for gestational age, report researchers from the Czech Republic.
Researchers have identified two naturally occurring, dominant-negative variants in the growth hormone receptor gene that act via the same molecular mechanism and contribute to the nonclassical growth hormone insensitivity phenotype.
Observational data confirm that children born small for gestational age achieve the best growth outcomes if they start treatment with recombinant human growth hormone as young as possible.
