Introduction: Pycnodysostosis is an extremely rare skeletal dysplasia caused by cathepsin K deficiency. It is characterized by extreme short stature with adult height (AH) in males typically less than 150 cm and in females less than 130 cm. Our objective was to evaluate the effect and safety of growth hormone (GH) treatment in 6 patients with pycnodysostosis treated according to the Dutch national pycnodysostosis guideline.
