Can Growth Hormone Be Activated In Geleophysic Dysplasia?

Can you treat Geleophysic Dysplasia Dwarfism with Growth Hormone to activate her own growth hormone? My 7 year old great, great niece apparently has growth Hormone but lacks the ingredient that activates her growth hormone. She looked normal at birth but grew only to about a 12 month old

Hello,

No, this is not possible. She is having a genetic disorder. So not possible to increase her height.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
