“…The data in Table 1 show an uneven reduction in bone, as expressed in standard deviation scores (SDSs) and nonbone measures, corrected by body surface. It adds very recent data about the dental arches (29) and the mesiodistal measurement of the teeth (30) to several previously published papers (31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). The pattern of cephalometric measures explains the doll facies and their high-pitched voice.…”

In the late 19 th century, José Dantas de Souza Leite, a physician born in Sergipe, published the first detailed clinical description of acromegaly under the guidance of the French neurologist Pierre Marie. In 2014, the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism created the "José Dantas de Souza Leite Award" , which is granted every two years to a Brazilian researcher who has contributed to the development of endocrinology. In 2022, the award was given to another physician from Sergipe, Manuel Hermínio de Aguiar Oliveira, from the Federal University of Sergipe for the description of "Itabaianinha syndrome" in a cohort of individuals with isolated GH deficiency due to a homozygous inactivating mutation in the GH-releasing hormone receptor gene. This research, which was carried out over almost 30 years, was performed in partnership with Roberto Salvatori from Johns Hopkins University and in collaboration with other researchers around the world. This review article tells the story of Souza Leite, some milestones in the history of GH, and summarizes the description of Itabaianinha syndrome.
