Figure 7 – Growth chart of girl with Laron syndrome treated with recombinant human IGF-I (Increlex) from age of 5.8 years when height SDS was -4.2 SD. There is an increase in height velocity over the first year of treatment which is reduced in subsequent years of therapy. Height SDS improves to -2.1 SD by 10.25 years but this has been associated with the onset of puberty at 9 years (treatment with the GnRH analog Zoladex was introduced at 9.8 years). Current height lies within parental target range. M denotes maternal height and F denotes adjusted paternal height.
