Severe Primary IGF Deficiency

I. GHR abnormalities1. Mutations/deletions of the GHR affecting the extracellular domain of

the GHR and resulting in decreased GH binding

2. Mutations/deletions of the GHR affecting the ability of the GHR to dimerize

3. Mutations/deletions of the GHR affecting the transmembrane domain of the receptor and resulting in defective anchoring in the cell membrane

4. Mutations/deletions of the GHR affecting the intracellular domain and signaling

Severe Primary IGF DeficiencyContinuation

II. Post-GHR signaling defects1. Mutations of STAT5b resulting in defective or absent GH signal

transduction

III. Mutations/deletions of IGF-I1. Deletions of IGF-I

2. Mutations of the IGF-I resulting in bioinactive IGF-I

IV. Defects of IGF transport and/or clearance1. Mutations/deletions of –ALSIGF, resulting in defective IGF transport

and rapid IGF clearance

V. IGF resistance1. Mutations of the IGF1R, resulting in decreased sensitivity to IGF-I

• General clinical problem: Some short patients respond better to GH treatment than others.

• Why ? What is the reason ?

• Prediction possible ?

Design

Data from 208 prepubertal children on conservative treatment or dialysis from a large pharmaco-epidemiological survey (KIGS)

Independent control Data from 67 similar CKD patients registered at the Dutch Growth Research Foundation

Page 22: Primary and Secondary Insensitivity to Growth Hormone in Short Children Otto Mehls University Hospital for Childen and Adolescents Devision of Pediatric.

Statistical Analysis

Multiple linear regression analysis fitted by least squares and REG procedure in the SAS computer program.

Variation of response to GH was expressed in terms of Studentized residuals.

Summary

• Primary resistance to GH resulting in very low or defective IGF1 is explained by various molecular defects of the GH receptor and along its signaling pathway

• Secondary resistance to GH is due to functional, reversible defects of the GH-IGF axis

• Low , normal or high response to GH treatment can be seen from Bakker charts or predicted using KIGS prediction models.

Studentized Residuals

Residual = observed height velocity(HV) – predicted HV) / Standard error of predicted HV = index of responsiveness Patients with an observed height velocity (HV) of < 0.0 height velocity SDS were excluded to allowidentification of non-responders by the model.

Statistical Analysis

Multiple linear regression analysis fitted by least squares and REG procedure in the SAS computer program.

The hierarchy of predicting factors was derived by the all-possible regression approach as described for other prediction models.

Differences were expressed in terms of Studentized residuals.
