Ten girls with Turner syndrome were treated with a combination therapy of recombinant human growth hormone (R-hGH) and low dose stanozolol for a period of 8 to 36 months. The results showed that when compared with the growth rate before the treatment, the growth rates after treatment with R-hGH and stanozolol showed a sustained increase, reaching 9.0 +/- 1.9 cm/year during the first year of treatment; the height age increase by 2.5 +/- 0.8 years while the bone age increase were 1.0 +/- 0.7 years; and the predicted final adult height at the end of the first year of the treatment increased to 149.4 +/- 6.1 cm compared to their original mean of 142.8 +/- 4.2 cm. We are led to conclude that therapy with R-hGH in combination with stanozolol can increase the growth velocity and significantly increase the predicted adult height of children with Turner syndrome.

D013006 Growth Hormone A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.

D014424 Turner Syndrome A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.
