|---|---|
| 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. | — |
