Gigantis T01

Product Information

If your child experiences these symptoms, it’s important to talk to their healthcare provider as soon as possible. What causes gigantism? Many children with gigantism have a genetic mutation that causes the pituitary tumor to form. The most common genetic mutations associated with gigantism are AIP gene mutations or deletions, making up approximately 29% of the population of people with gigantism. If gigantism is left untreated, it’s associated with significant complications and an increased death rate of around twice the normal average. What are the complications of gigantism? Once your growth plates have fused, excess GH causes acromegaly. In this case, you don’t grow in height, but the excess GH affects your bones’ shape and your organ size as well as other health factors. Triga, A.; Smyrli, M.; Katharios, P.

Lifeguards can give you In general, healthcare providers suspect gigantism when a child’s height is three standard deviations above the normal average height for their sex and age or two standard deviations above the adjusted average based on the height of their biological parents. Mutations in AIP sequencing can have deleterious effects by inducing the development of pituitary adenomas which in turn can cause gigantism.

The letters show the direction the wind is blowing If your child’s healthcare provider thinks they may have gigantism, they’ll likely recommend you see an endocrinologist, a healthcare provider who specializes in hormone-related conditions. They’ll make a diagnosis based on your child’s medical and family history, a thorough clinical evaluation and specialized tests such as blood tests and imaging tests. What tests will be done to diagnose gigantism?

Glucose tolerance test: This test can assess whether your child’s growth hormone levels react to glucose (sugar) the way they should. For this test, a provider will draw blood samples from your child’s vein at different intervals after your child drinks a glucose (sugar) solution. Imaging tests: If blood tests confirm that your child has gigantism, their provider will probably recommend an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan or CT (computed tomography) scan, which can clearly show the size and location of a pituitary tumor and help determine the proper treatments.

Excess GH is present in 20% to 30% of McCune-Albright syndrome cases. It’s often caused by pituitary gland enlargement (hyperplasia) but pituitary adenomas can be the cause as well.

When a tumor grows on the pituitary gland, the gland makes far more growth hormone than the body needs.

As a result of the excessive amounts of growth hormone, children achieve heights that are well above normal ranges. [11] The specific age of onset for gigantism varies between patients and gender, but the common age that excessive growth symptoms start to appear has been found to be around 13 years. [6] Other health complications, such as hypertension, may occur in pediatric patients with hyper-secretion of growth hormone. Characteristics more similar to those seen in acromegaly may occur in patients that are closer in age to adolescence since they are nearing growth plate fusion. [12] Hormonal cause [ edit ]

Radiation therapy uses specialized equipment to target the tumor with radiation beams. This therapy works slowly. It may require several treatment courses, with breaks in between, and may take several years to fully take effect. What are the possible complications of gigantism treatment?
