Growth hormone deficiency can be classified by cause into congenital type in which infants show symptoms such as hypoglycemia, neonatal growth failure, [[neonatal jaundice]], and [[asphyxia]] or acquired type presents with severe [[growth failure]], delayed [[bone age]], delayed [[puberty]], or [[Idiopathic]] [[growth hormone deficiency]] which is defined as having a height significantly shorter than the normal population with no detectable cause for [[short stature]].
Growth hormone deficiency can be classified by cause into [[congenital]], acquired or idiopathic. In the congenital type, infants show symptoms such as [[hypoglycemia]], [[Growth failure|neonatal growth failure]], [[neonatal jaundice]], and [[asphyxia]]. In [[acquired]] type of growth hormone deficiency, patients present with severe [[growth failure]], delayed [[bone age]], delayed [[puberty]]. The [[Idiopathic]] [[growth hormone deficiency]] which is defined as having a height significantly shorter than the normal population with no attributable cause for [[short stature]].

Growth hormone deficiency can be classified by the cause into:
Growth hormone deficiency can be classified into 3 based on the cause into:


==== [[Congenital disorder|Congenital]] ====

* Infants may show symptoms from the first day but some patients wait until 6 months to show symptoms.   
* Symptoms manifest on the first day of life however, in some cases symptoms do not present until 6 months of life.   
* Congenital growth hormone deficiency can be classified into three types:
* Congenital growth hormone deficiency can be classified into three subtypes:
* '''Growth hormone deficiency IA''': it is an [[autosomal recessive]] disease characterized by growth retardation in utero. Affected children are small in relation to their siblings.

Overview

Growth hormone deficiency can be classified by cause into congenital, acquired or idiopathic. In the congenital type, infants show symptoms such as hypoglycemia, neonatal growth failure, neonatal jaundice, and asphyxia. In acquired type of growth hormone deficiency, patients present with severe growth failure, delayed bone age, delayed puberty. The Idiopathic growth hormone deficiency which is defined as having a height significantly shorter than the normal population with no attributable cause for short stature.

Classification

Growth hormone deficiency can be classified into 3 based on the cause into:

Congenital

  • Symptoms manifest on the first day of life however, in some cases symptoms do not present until 6 months of life.
  • Congenital growth hormone deficiency can be classified into three subtypes:

Acquired

  • It may first appear in children or adults. Children with GHD present with severe growth failure, delayed bone agedelayed puberty, immature face with an underdeveloped nasal bridge, frontal bossing, sparse hair growth, and infantile fat distribution.[4]
  • Adults with GHD can be grouped into those who had prior childhood GHD, those who acquire GHD secondary to structural lesions or trauma, and those with idiopathic GHD. Childhood GHD is generally further divided into those with organic causes and those in whom the cause is unknown.[5]

Idiopathic growth hormone deficiency

  • Idiopathic growth hormone deficiency is defined as having a height significantly shorter than the normal population with no attributable cause for short stature.[6]
  • Idiopathic growth hormone deficiency is generally defined as having less than the calculated mid-parental height.
  • The clinical and biological presentation of idiopathic growth hormone deficiency varies, demonstrating the variety of its pathogenic features.[7]
