Q

Typical Constitutional Growth delay

A
  • Normal at birth
  • Then grows normally 4-6 months
  • Then growth accelaration
  • By 2-3 years = slows
  • Then grows at normal rate (but still short stature)
  • @ puberty: late puberty
  • but will later on, catch up normal (50th percentile)

Q

FAMILIAL SHORT STATURE

A
  • Annual Growth Rate Normal
  • Height at or Below 3rd Percentile
  • No Systemic or Endocrine Disease
  • Pubertal Growth Spurt at Normal Age
  • Skeletal Age Equal to Chronological Age
  • Ancestors Relatively Short
31
Q

CONSTITUTIONAL DELAY IN GROWTH AND

PUBERTY: PHYSIOLOGICAL FEATURES

A

• Exeggerated “phase change” growth
deceleration
• Transient deficiencies in GH secretion,
particularly prior to puberty
• Severity of CDGP/ BA delay reflects duration of
periods of impared GH secretion
• Slowed tempo of growth à Ba delay à eventual
pubertal delay
• Prolonged school- age growth deceleration and
enhanced susceptibility to exogenous growth
suppression (e.g. ADHD meds, ICS)

32
Q

At conception, the change of transmitting the

phenotype from affected parent to affected child is

33
Q

• An unaffected individual not inheriting the

phenotype has

A

no risk of transmitting the
phenotype to his or her own children (except
with reduced penetrance or anticipation). In
other words, there is no carried state.

34
Q

height that is 2 standard
deviations below the mean height for age and sex (less
than the third percentile) OR

deceleration across 2 major percentil3 lines on the growth
chart
