Abstract
Fanconi's anemia can be associated with growth retardation. We describe biologic growth hormone deficiency, isolated or associated with thyrotropin abnormality, and pituitary stalk interruption syndrome on magnetic resonance imaging of 5 patients with Fanconi's anemia. Growth hormone treatment produced catch-up growth in all cases. These findings suggest a common genetic origin.Entities:
