DUBLIN, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Epiomic Epidemiology Series: Growth Hormone Deficiency Forecast In 19 Major Markets 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) results from the destruction of normal pituitary and hypothalamic tissue and is characterized by the inadequate secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. GHD can occur at any point during an individual's life but is primarily defined as being of childhood onset (CO) or adult onset (AO). Age at onset tends to denote a different underlying pathology for the deficiency. The majority of CO is congenital, whereas AO forms tend to be acquired or idiopathic. For congenital forms, there are three types linked with different genetic inheritance patterns. Acquired types tend to arise from a variety of tumours of the hypothalamus/pituitary as well as brain trauma, surgery/treatment of extra-cranial tumours, etc.
