“…Subjects with CDGP have previously been shown to achieve FH that is normal or lower-range normal compared with the general population, with values ranging from –1.9 to –0.6 SDs [5,6,7,8,9,10, 12]. However, not all boys with CDGP reach their genetic TH [7, 9, 10, 13].…”

“…At least in a subgroup of CDGP subjects, the reduction in height SDs starts already early in childhood, well before puberty [4, 5]. Although boys with CDGP may be short during pubertal years, many will achieve a final adult height (FH) that is normal compared with the general population [5,6,7,8,9]. However, some subjects with CDGP have been shown to attain a FH that is significantly (>0.8 SDs) below their genetic target height (TH) [7,10,11,12,13].…”

However, some subjects with CDGP have been shown to attain a FH that is significantly (>0.8 SDs) below their genetic target height (TH) [7,10,11,12,13]. In one study, 58% of subjects with CDGP attained a FH that was 1.5 SDs below their target [13].…”

Background/Aims: In some adolescents with constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP), the reduction in relative height (height SDs) starts already in childhood, before puberty. Some subjects with CDGP do not reach their target height (TH). We investigated whether early height SD reduction or testosterone treatment in low doses (1–2 mg/kg/month) influence final height (FH). Methods: The growth of 70 adult men with a history of CDGP was investigated. 31 subjects (13 treated with testosterone) had progressive height SD reduction between 3 and 9 years, and in 39 (17 treated with testosterone) no such reduction was seen. Results: In untreated subjects without early height SD reduction, FH was closer to TH than in those with such reduction (FH – TH 0.05 ± 0.94 vs. –0.63 ± 0.50 SD, p = 0.009). FH – TH did not differ between the testosterone-treated and untreated subjects in the group with early height SD reduction (FH – TH –0.36 ± 0.48 vs. –0.63 ± 0.50 SD, p = 0.15), nor in the group without such reduction (FH – TH –0.08 ± 0.70 vs. 0.05 ± 0.94 SD, p = 0.64). Conclusion: Subjects with early height SD reduction do not attain FH consistent with their genetic height potential, whereas those without such reduction do. Treatment with low doses of testosterone does not adversely affect FH.

“…There have been numerous comparisons of the various methods of predicting height for different conditions such as constitutional tall stature, hypothyroidism, constitutional short stature, and achondroplasia [4,5,7]. The present study is the only one to use these methods for patients who had limb salvage surgery for primary bone tumors.…”
