. Studies of authentic recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) began very recently in Germany. In this study, one group of patients with hGH deficiency is naïve (no previous hGH treatment), and the second group has been treated with pituitary hGH. The mean age of diagnosis of 17 naïve patients so far accepted is about 8 years; patients who have previously received pituitary hGH are older and slightly taller. No other data are yet available for analysis.
