Resumen:
GH insensitivity has been associated to GHR,GHR,
STAT5B, IGF1 and IGFALS gene defects. Despite similar degrees
of IGF-I deficiency only IGFALS gene defects result in mild growth
deficit. Objective: To characterize the molecular defect in a short
boy presenting IGF-I and IGFBP-3 deficiencies. Methods: The
proband, a 13.8 year old prepubertal boy, born SGA at term (weight
2810 g, 1.2 SDS; height 44 cm, 3.66 SDS) from consanguineous
parents (father 160 cm, 1.88 SDS; mother 157 cm, 0.60 SDS), is
the fourth of nine siblings, height 2.65 SDS, BA 12.75 years for
CA 13.42. Stimulated GH and IGFBP-3 levels were determined by
ICMA, IGF-I by RIA, ALS by Western imm unoblot and in vitro
ternary complex (TC) formation by size exclusion chromatography., IGF1 and IGFALS gene defects. Despite similar degrees

Results: He was GH sufficient (22.0 ng/ml), had low IGF-I
(4.15 and 4.70 SDS) and undetectable IGFBP-3 and ALS levels.
He was unable to form TC, even after spiking with rhIGFBP-3.He was GH sufficient (22.0 ng/ml), had low IGF-I

IGFALS gene sequencing revealed a homozygous novel missense
mutation (c.1225C>T; p.Leu409Phe), predicted to be probably damaging
by in silico analysis. Conclusions: Mild growth retardation
with pubertal delay associated to severe IGF-I and IGFBP-3 reductions
led to the molecular characterization of another ALS deficient
patient.gene sequencing revealed a homozygous novel missense
