Can Growth Hormone Be Activated In Geleophysic Dysplasia?
Can you treat Geleophysic Dysplasia Dwarfism with Growth Hormone to activate her own growth hormone? My 7 year old great, great niece apparently has growth Hormone but lacks the ingredient that activates her growth hormone. She looked normal at birth but grew only to about a 12 month old

Hello,
No, this is not possible. She is having a genetic disorder. So not possible to increase her height.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
