Growth Hormone and Low Dose Estrogen in Turner Syndrome: Results of a United States Multi-Center Trial to Near-Final Height
Abstract
A cardinal clinical feature of Turner syndrome (TS) is linear growth failure resulting in extreme short stature: the median adult height of untreated women with TS is 143 cm, 20 cm (8 in.) below that of the general female population. In the largest multicenter, randomized, long-term, dose-response study conducted in the United States, 232 subjects with TS received either 0.27 or 0.36 mg/kg.wk of recombinant human GH with either low dose ethinyl E2 or oral placebo. The study was placebo-controlled for both GH and estrogen for the first 18 months and remained placebo-controlled for estrogen for its duration. The near-final height of the 99 subjects whose bone age was at least 14 yr was 148.7 +/- 6.1 cm after 5.5 +/- 1.8 yr of GH started at a mean age of 10.9 +/- 2.3 yr; this represents an average increase of 1.3 +/- 0.6 SD scores from baseline (TS standard). Height was greater than 152.4 cm (60 in.) in 29% of subjects compared with the expected 5% of untreated patients. Mean near-final heights of subjects who received the lower GH dose, with or without estrogen, were 145.1 +/- 5.4 and 149.9 +/- 6.0 cm, respectively; those who received the higher GH dose with or without estrogen achieved mean near-final heights of 149.1 +/- 6.0 and 150.4 +/- 6.0 cm, respectively. Factors that most impacted outcome were younger age, lower bone age/chronological age ratio, lower body weight, and greater height SD score at study entry. This study demonstrates significant GH-induced improvement in height SD score, with correction of height to within the normal channels for a significant number of patients, and provides evidence of a GH dose-response effect. These data also indicate that early administration of estrogen, even at relatively low doses, does not improve gain in near-final height in patients with TS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
