Overview
The risk factors for growth hormone deficiency is due to the mutations involving the POU1F1 gene, GH1 gene, IGF-I gene. GH receptor signal transduction, syndrome of bioinactive GH and growth hormone insensitivity.
Risk Factors
Genetics
Growth hormone insensitivity
- Growth hormone insensitivity is an absence of the effects of growth hormone despite a normal production of GH.[1]
- It is caused by mutations in the growth hormone receptor gene which affects the GH-binding of the receptor.
- Its severity correlates to IGF-I and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) levels.
POU1F1 gene mutations
- It is the most common known genetic cause of the combined pituitary hormone deficiency.[2]
- It is responsible for pituitary-specific transcription of genes for GH, prolactin, thyrotropin, and the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor.[3]
- PROP1 mutations result in failure to activate POU1F1/Pit1 gene expression and probably cause pituitary hypoplasia.[4]
GH1 gene mutations
- It is GH1 is the gene encoding GH, located on chromosome 17.
- Gene deletions, frameshift mutations, and nonsense mutations of GH1 have been described as causes of familial GHD.
Syndrome of bioinactive GH
- Bioinactive GH has the main symptoms and signs of isolated GHD with normal basal GH levels and low insulin-like growth factor I concentrations.[5]
GH receptor signal transduction
- It is essential for normal signaling of the GH receptor. Mutations in the gene encoding signal transducer decrease the response of receptors to GH.[6]
IGF-I gene mutations
- Mutations in the gene encoding IGF-I cause a unique syndrome of GHD.[7]
- Patients with IGF-I gene mutations have prenatal growth failure, microcephaly, significant neurocognitive deficits, and sensorineural hearing loss.
Defective stabilization of circulating IGF-I
- Acid-labile subunit is important for the stabilization of the IGF-I.
- Mutations in the gene coding for it causes less stable and subsequently less effect.[8]
