A Case with Laron Syndrome

Along with autosomal recessive inheritance, the Laron syndrome (LS) is a congenital disorder, which is infrequent in prevalence. The disease was firstly diagnosed by Laron et al. (1) on several oriental Jewish families in 1966. Clinically, post-natal growth retardation is observed in patients with this syndrome. Adult length of these patients remain between -4 and -10 SDS unless they receive necessary treatment (2).
