Svær primær IGFD omfatter patienter med mutationer i GH- receptoren (GHR), post- GHR signalsti og IGF- 1- gendefekter; disse er ikke GH- insufficiente og kan derfor ikke forventes at reagere tilstrækkeligt på eksogen GH- behandling.
Severe Primary IGFD includes patients with mutations in the GH receptor (GHR), post-GHR signaling pathway, and IGF-1 gene defects; they are not GH deficient, and therefore, they cannot be expected to respond adequately to exogenous GH treatment.
