Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of a one-year-old female with 18-ring chromosome syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and other medical issues.
- The patient exhibited significant developmental delays, extreme growth deficiencies, and was found to have an 18-ring chromosome and low growth hormone levels, leading to a GHD diagnosis.
- Despite receiving human growth hormone treatment, her growth velocity did not improve, highlighting the need for further investigation in children with similar genetic conditions.
