Protocol Description

This is a multicenter observational study to gather information about specific aspects of growth hormone replacement therapy using recombinant DNA growth hormone from Genentech. The primary objective of this long-term study is to collect safety and efficacy information regarding use of these therapies in treatment of children who have growth failure due to lack of adequate endogenous growth hormone secretion, short stature due to chronic renal insufficiency and Turner Syndrome.
