Abstract
The linear growth effects of oxandrolone, human growth hormone, and Ox + hGH were compared in six girls, age 11 to 15 years, with X chromosome abnormalities (three with X,O karyotype, three with Turner syndrome variants). Over six successive three-month periods, the patient received either no treatment, Ox, hGH, or Ox + hGH. The data demonstrate a significant (P less than 0.001) synergistic effect between Ox and hGH in stimulating linear growth in Turner syndrome and its variants.
