From HandWiki
Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by growth hormone deficiency and postnatal growth failure.[1][2] It is divided into four subtypes that vary in terms of cause and clinical presentation.[1][2] They include IGHD IA (autosomal recessive, absent GH), IGHD IB (autosomal recessive, diminished GH), IGHD II (autosomal dominant, diminished GH), and IGHD III (X-linked, diminished GH).[1][2]
