Brief Answer:
Normal results
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the report. The results indicate a reasonable response to stimulation and so there is no reason to think that the stunted growth is due to growth hormone deficiency.
If you want to know anything specific, please feel free to write back.
