Abstract

A female patient with known Hurler-Scheie syndrome, who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation, presented with growth retardation and delayed puberty. She started growth hormone (GH) treatment at age 12.33 years, resulting in significantly improved linear growth and predicted adult height. We describe details of her clinical course and literature review of growth pattern as well as GH use in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis I.
