This condition is typically observed in children, causing growth failure and short stature. GHD can be categorized into two main types: genetic GH deficiency, which involves identifiable genetic mutations like GH-1, GHRHR, and PROP-1, and idiopathic GH deficiency, where no specific genetic anomaly can be pinpointed. In cases of idiopathic GH deficiency, the pituitary gland is often smaller, and there's evidence of abnormalities in the pituitary stalk or the posterior lobe being in an abnormal position. The primary indicator of growth hormone deficiency is a deceleration or halt in growth starting around the age of two or three. This concern might emerge through regular growth chart monitoring or become evident when a child joins school and is notably shorter than their peers. Diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency involves...
