[The effects of treatment with growth hormone alone or in combination with oxandrolone in a group of Turner's syndrome children. A preliminary study].
The authors analyzed the clinical and psychological effects of GH (group 1) and GH plus oxandrolone (group 2) in a group of 11 Turner girls aged 6.3-14 years. The results showed a significant improvement of posttreatment height velocity vs pretreatment height velocity for both study groups. No significant differences were found between the two groups. A girl of group 2 manifested a defect of sexual identification.
