We report a girl with Niemann-Pick disease type B in whom short stature was recorded over a long period. Association of short stature with the presence of a polyglandular involvement in this patient is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009542 Niemann-Pick Diseases A group of autosomal recessive disorders in which harmful quantities of lipids accumulate in the viscera and the central nervous system. They can be caused by deficiencies of enzyme activities (SPHINGOMYELIN PHOSPHODIESTERASE) or defects in intracellular transport, resulting in the accumulation of SPHINGOMYELINS and CHOLESTEROL. There are various subtypes based on their clinical and genetic differences. ASM Deficiency,ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick Disease,Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency,Acid Sphingomyelinase-deficient Niemann-Pick Disease,Niemann-Pick Disease,ASM Deficiencies,ASM Deficient Niemann Pick Disease,ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick Diseases,Acid Sphingomyelinase deficient Niemann Pick Disease,Deficiencies, ASM,Deficiencies, Acid Sphingomyelinase,Deficiency, ASM,Deficiency, Acid Sphingomyelinase,Disease, ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick,Diseases, ASM-Deficient Niemann-Pick,Niemann Pick Disease,Niemann Pick Diseases,Niemann-Pick Disease, ASM-Deficient,Niemann-Pick Diseases, ASM-Deficient,Sphingomyelinase Deficiencies, Acid,Sphingomyelinase Deficiency, Acid
D004393 Dwarfism, Pituitary A form of dwarfism caused by complete or partial GROWTH HORMONE deficiency, resulting from either the lack of GROWTH HORMONE-RELEASING FACTOR from the HYPOTHALAMUS or from the mutations in the growth hormone gene (GH1) in the PITUITARY GLAND. It is also known as Type I pituitary dwarfism. Human hypophysial dwarf is caused by a deficiency of HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE during development.

D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

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.

D013108 Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide (N-acylsphingosine) plus choline phosphate. A defect in this enzyme leads to NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE. EC 3.1.4.12. Sphingomyelin Cholinephosphohydrolase,Sphingomyelin Cleaving Enzyme,Sphingomyelinase,Sphingomyelinase C
