title: X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia and isolated growth hormone deficiency: an update.
abstract: X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia and isolated growth hormone deficiency (XLH-GHD, OMIM # 307200) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by pan-hypogammaglobulinemia and isolated growth hormone deficiency. The disease, which is only known to occur in a single family, shares many features with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA, OMIM # 300300). The current review summarizes the clinical, laboratory and genetic features of the disease as they have unfolded over the past quarter century since its description.
