Adult height after GH therapy in 188 Ullrich-Turner syndrome patients: results of the German IGLU Follow-up Study 2001

Abstract

GH dosages conceived in the 1980s are safe but too low for most UTS patients. HT gain and height are determined by age and HT at GH start. Height gain during the first Year on GH is indicative of overall height gain. After spontaneous or induced puberty, little gain in height occurs.
