The growth saltations in length occur as the cells responsible for long bone elongation, chondroblasts, pass through their cellular life stages from recruitment, clonal proliferation and hypertrophy in organized units at the site of bone growth, the growth plates. These areas, found at either end...
Human growth hormone normally acts along a signaling pathway that stimulates production of IGF-I growth factor, which then affects body tissues such as the growth plates in bones. Therefore, growth hormone deficiency often causes IGF deficiency downstream. However, in PIGFD, a patient has sufficient...
