11
Short Stature Normal variants –Familial short stature* –Constitutional delay* Pathological –Primary growth abnormalities –Secondary growth disorders –Idiopathic short stature *Diagnosis of exclusion Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10 th ed. 2003.
12
Primary Growth Abnormalities Osteochondrodysplasias or skeletal dysplasia (eg, osteogenesis imperfecta) Chromosomal abnormalities –Turner syndrome –Prader-Willi syndrome –Noonan syndrome –Trisomy 13,18, 21 (eg, Down syndrome) Intrauterine growth abnormalities –Small for gestational age (SGA) Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
13
Secondary Growth Abnormalities Malnutrition/nutritional insufficiency –Food allergies –Inadequate nutritional intake Emotional deprivation –Psychosocial dwarfism Chronic neglect Starvation Chronic or systemic disease Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
14
Secondary Growth Abnormalities: Systemic Conditions Hematological - anemia Cardiovascular - cardiac failure, shunting Pulmonary –Cystic fibrosis (CF), asthma, chronic corticosteroids usage (prednisone), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease Gastrointestinal –Malabsorption, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, reflux Kidney –Renal tubular acidosis (RTA), chronic renal failure, occult renal disease Liver - chronic active hepatitis Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
15
Secondary Growth Abnormalities: Endocrine Disorders Hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism Cushing’s syndrome Pseudohypoparathyroidism Rickets (Vitamin D – rickets resistant) Chronic hypernatremia (hypothalamic adipsia, diabetes insipidus) Glucocorticoid imbalances (hypercortisolism) Poorly controlled diabetes (diabetes mellitus) IGF deficiency –Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) – hypothalamic dysfunction, pituitary GDH –GH resistance (primary vs secondary GH insensitivity) –Primary defects of IGF synthesis –Primary defects of IGF transport and clearance –IGF insensitivity (IGF-1 receptor defects vs post-receptor defects) Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
16
Idiopathic Short Stature Diagnosis of exclusion Normal size at birth Significantly below average height for age & gender –>2 standard deviations below average height –Corresponds to the shortest 2.3% of children Tempo of growth may be slow or normal Short stature of unknown origin (idiopathic) –No evidence of other medical problems, such as: Systemic disease Malnutrition Hypothyroidism Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) Ranke M. Horm Res. 1996;45:64-66.
17
Short Stature: Variations of Normal Familial (genetic) short stature –Short, but appropriate for parental height Parallels normal growth rate curves –Bone age corresponds with chronologic age –Normal onset of puberty Constitutional growth delay (“late bloomers”) –Parents of average/tall height –Normal (but short) growth rate, including body proportions –Family history of “late bloomers” At least one parent had delayed puberty –Delayed bone age and sexual maturation Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
18
Growth Curves: Measurement is Key Growth curves help distinguish normal growth from pathologic variants of short stature Below average height and weight but parallels normal curve –eg, familial short stature and constitutional growth delay Lifshitz F. Pediatric Endocrinology; 5 th ed. 2006. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Pathological Constitutional Familial 5% 50% 95% 24681012141618 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 Age (years) Stature (cm)
19
Growth Curves: Points of Interest Reliability of measurement Target height or “genetic potential” Bone age –Skeletal age relative to chronologic age Upper/lower (U/L) body ratio and some chromosomal abnormalities –Abnormal in skeletal dysplasias Height velocity Weight to height relationship –Endocrine disorders: weight percentile is greater than height percentile (eg, hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency) –Systemic disorders: usually lose weight first and are thin by the time they are short Farber R, Kerrigan J. Pediatric Annals. 2006;35(12):926-932.
20
What’s Normal and When to Worry Short and dysmorphic (abnormal U/L body ratio) –Skeletal dysplasias Increased U/L = long bone; Decreased U/L = spine –Short stature syndromes (eg, Turner, Down, Prader- Willi) Short and thin –Usually systemic disease Short with greater than normal weight percentile –Usually an endocrine disorder (GH, thyroid, cortisol) Proportionate with greater than normal weight percentile –Congenital growth hormone deficiency (GHD), acquired GHD (tumors, trauma, post-infectious), hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome
21
Evaluating a Child with Short Stature Short Stature Normal Variants Familial short stature Constitutional delay Pathologic Proportionate Disproportionate Skeletal dysplasia Rickets Chromosomal abnormalities Prenatal IUGR Placental disease Infections Teratogens Dysmorphic syndromes Chromosomal disorders Postnatal Endocrine disorders Psychosocial dwarfism Malnutrition Gastrointestinal diseases Cardiopulmonary diseases Chronic anemia Renal disorders IUGR, Intrauterine growth retardation. Larson P, Williams Textbook of Endocrinology, 10th ed. 2003.
22
Clinical Evaluation for Short Stature Detailed history and physical (from head to toe) Including but not limited to: –Date of onset –Perinatal birth history –Medical/surgical history –Developmental history –Nutritional history –Family/social history –Parental heights and pubertal history –Onset of puberty –Allergies –Sitting height –Limb length –Hypospadius –Absence of goiter –Cleft lip/palate; abnormal palate/teeth –Shortened 4 th metacarpal
23
Clinical Evaluation for Short Stature (cont.) Height velocity –Growth chart that depicts the child's growth over time –Allows comparison of the height or weight to other children and graphically depicts changes in growth or growth velocity Bone age determination –Left hand and wrist radiograph to estimate skeletal maturation
24
Clinical Evaluation for Short Stature (cont.) Respiratory system –Chest deformities, chronic lung disease (eg, CF, asthma) Cardiovascular system –Congenital heart disease, hypertension, cardiac failure Abdominal evaluation –Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, masses, ascites Renal system –Urine output Central nervous system –Visual acuity/visual fields, hydrocephalus, focal signs
25
Clinical Diagnosis of Short Stature: Laboratory Testing Urinalysis and pH Thyroxine (Free T4 and TSH) –Hypothyroidism should be excluded Comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP) –Low bicarbonate level may indicate renal tubular acidosis –Abnormal electrolytes (Ca, K) may indicate renal failure, liver function tests CBC and sedimentation rate (anemia, leukopenia, etc.) –May be helpful if inflammatory bowel disease is suspected IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 –Both IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 are GH-dependent –Low values of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 suggest GHD –IGFs are sensitive to other factors such as nutritional state and chronic systemic disease so a low value alone is not diagnostic
26
Consideration of Additional Laboratory Testing Prolactin Chromosome analysis FSH/LH levels Celiac panel Total IgA
27
Growth Hormone Pathway Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary Liver Adipose Tissue (lipolysis) Most Tissues glucose utilization blood glucose Cartilage & bone growth Muscle & other organs: Protein synthesis & growth Somatostatin – GHRH + GH (GH levels and effects are most pronounced during puberty) IGF-1 Somatostatin
28
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) Inadequate secretion of growth hormone May result from disruption of the GH axis in the higher brain, hypothalamus, or pituitary Most instances of GHD are idiopathic Organic –Congenital malformations of hypothalamus and pituitary –Brain tumors, especially craniopharyngioma –CNS surgery, head trauma and radiation –Chronic inflammation Genetic GHD

32
Prevalence of GHD According to Utah Growth Study, 2.5% of the population is short –Largest population-based survey of growth in children –Assessed height & growth velocity in ~115,000 American children –Among 555 children with short stature (height below the third percentile) and poor growth rate (growth velocity <5 cm annually), only 5% had an endocrine disorder –48% of children with GHD or Turner syndrome (TS) had been undiagnosed or untreated An endocrine disorder (eg, GHD) is often suspected as the major cause of short stature –This study confirms that most (95%) children with poor growth (velocity <5 cm/y) do not have an endocrine disorder Lindsay R, et al. J Pediatr. Jul 1994;125(1):29-35.
33
Growth Hormone Therapy Generally, highly effective in children with unequivocal GH deficiency Responsiveness to GH in most other approved indications is highly variable and not always predictable Thus, GH therapy has clear utility but also has limitations
34
New Treatment Perspectives on ISS Despite efficacy data, a considerable amount of variability in response to GH remains, even within the same diagnostic category, such as GHD Some children with ISS have shown little or no benefit of therapy suggesting that GH therapy is suboptimal in some patients A range of growth response to GH therapy exists including GH responsiveness, GH unresponsiveness, GH insensitivity Current data suggests that up to 25-50% of children with ISS may have primary IGF-1 deficiency (based on normal GH secretion and low IGF-1 levels) Rosenthal S, et al. Pediatr Endocrinol Rev. May 2007;4(Suppl. 2):S252-S271.

37
Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) IGF-1 is normally secreted in response to stimulation by growth hormone IGF-1 stimulates multiple processes leading to growth including glucose uptake glycogen and protein synthesis amino acid transport Adopted from Felix F. Vajdos, et al. 2001.
38
Role of IGF-1 Growth hormone - a naturally occurring hormone –One of its major functions, among other actions, is to promote production of IGF-1 IGF-1 is normally secreted in response to stimulation by growth hormone IGF-1 is usually necessary for normal growth and metabolism, and stimulates multiple processes including: –Glucose uptake –Glycogen and protein synthesis –Amino acid transport Deficiency of, or resistance to, growth hormone can cause IGFD, which can lead to short stature in children
39
IGF-I Measurements in the Diagnosis of Short Stature Significance of basal IGF-I measurements in the diagnostics of short stature in children 95 th 50 th 5 th 95 th 50 th 5 th Ranke M, et al.

40
Measuring IGF-1 and IGF-BP3 Levels to Assess for GHD Farber R, Kerrigan J. Pediatric Annals. 2006;35(12):926-932. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender strongly suggest GH insufficiency Low IGF-1: GHD or GH resistant GH levels are measured If GH levels are high, GH resistance is likely However, low levels of GH may not distinguish GHD from GH resistance –Under these circumstances, provocative (stimulation) tests of growth hormone secretion may be indicated
41
Growth Hormone Provocative (Stimulation) Testing A number of provocative agents can be used to test for GHD including arginine, clonidine, glucagon, insulin, and L-dopa GH response to insulin is the most reliable test for GHD –Great care should be exercised in using insulin or glucagon in young children Before accepting a GHD diagnosis, many insurance companies require a documented failure to demonstrate a GH response after presentation of 2 provocative stimuli However, provocative testing often has limitations: –Poor assay standardization among laboratories –Results may conflict with other growth data –No bimodal distribution of response GH Research Society.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Brain and Pituitary Gland Scott R, Hedley-Whyte E. N Eng J Med. 2002;347(20):1604-1611. Cranial imaging may be appropriate in patients found to be GHD and –IGF-1 levels are low or –IGFBP-3 levels and GH stimulation tests are low Rule out brain tumor (eg, craniopharyngioma) or other etiologies Approximately 15% of patients with GHD have an abnormality of the pituitary gland (eg, ectopic bright spot, empty or small sella)

Mecasermin: Recombinant-human Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 FDA-approved for long-term treatment for growth failure in children with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency or GH gene deletions who have developed neutralizing antibodies Patients undergoing at least one year of mecasermin treatment demonstrated statistically significant improvements in growth Increlex™ Prescribing Information (Mecasermin, Tercica, N=71).
52
Mecasermin Improves Height In clinical trials, height velocity increased the first year, on average to 8.0 cm/year from a baseline of 2.8 cm/year (P<0.0001) In Years 2 through 6, height velocity was sustained at approximately 5 cm/year (P<0.005) Increlex™ Prescribing Information (Mecasermin, Tercica, N=71).
53
Important Considerations with Mecasermin Therapy Mecasermin is not a substitute for GH treatment Primary IGFD patients cannot be expected to respond adequately to exogenous GH treatment Mecasermin should not be used for growth promotion in patients with –closed epiphyses –active or suspected neoplasia –allergies to mecasermin (IGF-1) Increlex™ Prescribing Information (Mecasermin, Tercica, N=71).
54
Adverse Events with Mecasermin Treatment Hypoglycemia –Highest frequency occurred in the first month of treatment and is more frequent in younger children Tonsillar hypertrophy was noted in 11 (15%) subjects in the first 1 to 2 years of therapy with lesser tonsillar growth in subsequent years Intracranial hypertension occurred in 3 subjects –Events resolved without interruption of treatment in 2 patients and the other patient discontinued and resumed later at a lower dose without recurrence Lipohypertrophy at injection sites noted in 24 subjects (32%) –Resolved when injections were properly rotated Increlex™ Prescribing Information (Mecasermin, Tercica, N=71).
55
Short Stature: Summary Short stature can be promptly recognized with accurate measurements of growth and critical analysis of growth data Appropriate evaluation for poor growth and endocrine consultation are crucial prior to electing therapy An individualized approach to children with short stature should be practiced, taking into consideration factors such as psychosocial concerns and must exclude alternative etiologies of poor growth prior to consideration of therapy Recent advances in the field have resulted in several successful treatment options, including GH and mecaserim
