title: Aarskog syndrome with isolated growth hormone deficiency.
abstract: A 5-year-old male with the Aarskog syndrome is described. He had abnormal facies, short stature, short fingers with interdigital webbing, a saddle type scrotum and mild mental retardation. In addition, he had isolated growth hormone deficiency as evidenced by the insulin, arginine, and propranolol-glucagon tests. An arginine test after short-term stimulation with estrogen further supported this diagnosis. His mother had minor abnormalities of the hands and feet, and slight mental retardation.
