<unk>  is a rare genetic disease where the body has sufficient growth hormones but lacks receptors to utilize the hormone and hence dwarfism results. It was first reported by Zvi<unk>  and colleagues in Israel in 1966. Researches demonstrate that gene mutations in growth hormone receptor may involve in the disease. The principal feature of<unk>  is abnormally short stature. Blood hormone tests, bone age test and cranial MRI scan may help the diagnosis. The only effective treatment for patients with<unk>  is administration of insulinlike growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Many patients appear good with the treatment.
