Background

Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) due to mutations in GH1 gene is a rare disease caused by deficient production of endogenous growth hormone (GH).

Methods

We reported the clinical manifestation and genetic diagnosis (whole exome sequencing [WES], nested PCR Sanger sequencing, and rtPCR) of a family with two children with IGHD type I. We conducted a systematic review of cases with IGHD and compared height, and treatment outcomes in subtypes of IGHD.

Results

The patients were siblings born of nonconsanguineous parents from the Chinese Han population. The siblings both presented significantly short stature without other apparent abnormalities. The patients carry compound heterozygous mutations in GH1: a deletion and c.456 + 1G > A mutation that led to abnormal splicing. The systematic review identified 365 IGHD cases with GH1 mutations. Among these patients, their body height was most severely impaired in patients with IGHD type Ia, and the height standard deviation score decreased with the age of diagnosis in IGHD type Ia. Patients with IGHD type II had the longest duration of rhGH treatment, while patients with IGHD type Ib had the highest relative height improvement.

Conclusion

We identified two patients with IGHD type I caused by compound heterozygotic GH1 deletion and splicing mutation. The analysis of previously published IGHD patients suggests differences in linear growth among subtypes of IGHD.
