Clinical Trial Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess pituitary size and anatomic configuration by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 4 affected dwarfs in the province of Sindh, Pakistan.

II. Evaluate ultradian growth hormone (GH) secretory patterns in 4 affected dwarfs.

Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Pituitary size and anatomy and growth hormone response are evaluated.

All patients undergo MRI of the pituitary fossa on day 1. On day 2, homozygous patients receive a slow infusion of normal saline with blood sampling every 10 minutes.
