This report documents that the syndrome of growth hormone insensitivity (severe short
stature, increased secretion of growth hormone, but low serum concentrations of insulin-like
growth factor I [IGF-I] and IGF–binding protein 3) in a teenage girl was due to a homozygous
missense mutation in the gene for STAT5b, an essential component of the actions of growth
hormone, as well as many other cytokine-induced functions.
