NIH Rare Diseases: Laron syndrome is a disorder chiefly characterized by marked short stature. Signs and symptoms in the newborn period typically include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and having an unusually small penis (micropenis). Affected children have slow and disproportionate growth, delayed motor development due to decreased muscle mass, and delayed puberty. Other signs and symptoms include distinctive facial features (protruding and high forehead, shallow eye sockets, underdeveloped nasal bridge and small chin); delayed teething; a high-pitched voice; thin bones and skin; and decreased sweating (hypohidrosis). It is often caused by mutations in the GHR gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment focuses on improving growth and includes injections of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and a diet with adequate calories.30
MalaCards: Laron Syndrome, also known as pituitary dwarfism ii, is related to laron dwarfism and bell's palsy. An important gene associated with Laron Syndrome is GHR (growth hormone receptor), and among its related pathways are JNK Pathway and Transcription_Receptor-mediated HIF regulation. The compounds estradiol and bromocriptine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, heart and liver, and related mouse phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and hematopoietic system.
