Summary

This trial is observing the effects of growth hormone on patients with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, specifically those with pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a. This form of the condition typically leads to patients being short and obese. The trial is also observing the neurocognitive and psychosocial effects of the condition in order to better understand how to manage it.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 0.2 to 89 years with conditions like pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A or pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. Growth hormone treatment participants must be over 3, pre-pubertal, and meet criteria for idiopathic short stature or SGA if they are not growth hormone deficient.
What is being tested?
The study observes the natural progression of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy and tests the effects of growth hormone in certain patients. It also assesses cognitive and psychosocial functioning to identify common impairments and management strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on observation and neurocognitive testing rather than medication, it does not list specific side effects related to drug interventions.
