Growth Hormone Deficiency
Background
Growth hormone, along with several other hormones controlling growth and general well being, is secreted from the pituitary gland in the base of the brain.
Growth hormone deficiency may occur in isolation or combined with
other hormone deficiencies. Growth hormone deficiency may occur
spontaneously at a frequency of approximately 1 in 5,000 children and
is more common in boys than in girls.
