Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Acquired GHD due to central nervous system tumour, trauma, infection, infiltration (documented by imaging), and a history of irradiation or cranial surgery; - Previous treatment with GH, GHRH, anabolic steroids or any treatment affecting growth; - Previous treatment with corticosteroids except topical or inhaled for atopic disease; or when used for hormonal substitution if the condition and treatment regimen has been stable for at least 3 months; - Severe associated pathology affecting growth such as malnutrition, malabsorption or bone dysplasia; - Chronic severe kidney or liver or infectious disease; - Acute or severe illness during the previous 6 months; - Active malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin malignancies that have undergone surgical excision and / or biopsy, diagnosis and treatment to resolution); - History or active Idiopathic intra-cranial hypertension; - Diabetes Mellitus type I and II - Any autoimmune disease; - Use of investigational drug or participation in another clinical study within the last three months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To identify the most representative serum biomarkers after one month of Saizen therapy in Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and Turner Syndrome (TS) children.; Secondary Objective: - To explore the contribution of selected genes to the phenotype of GHD and TS children; - To explore the contribution of gene polymorphisms to the levels of serum biomarkers in GHD and TS children after one month of Saizen therapy; - To explore the relationship between changes in gene expression profiling, the changes in serum biomarkers and the spectrum of gene polymorphisms in a subset of GH and TS children (defined as the 75th percentiles of IGF-I levels) after one months of Saizen therapy. ;Primary end point(s): To identify the most responsive serum biomarkers after one month of Saizen therapy in GHD and TS children.
