About Primary insulin-like growth factor-1 deficiency.

Primary insulin-like growth factor-1 deficiency is a rare endocrine disorder primarily affecting pediatric populations, marked by marked failure of linear growth and skeletal development.

It arises from disruptions along the growth hormone–insulin-like growth factor axis, caused by genetic mutations affecting the growth hormone receptor, post-receptor intracellular signaling cascades, or the insulin-like growth factor-1 gene itself.

Pathophysiologically, it is defined by abnormally low circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 in the presence of normal or elevated growth hormone secretion, distinguishing it from hypopituitary growth hormone deficiency and secondary causes of growth attenuation.

Clinically, affected individuals present with pronounced short stature, delayed bone age, and variable dysmorphic or metabolic features, such as frontotemporal prominentia and episodic hypoglycemia.
