Abstract
The case of a 16-year-old girl who had a severe growth deficiency is reported who had a mutation in the gene for a protein called STAT5b. This protein is produced during growth hormone stimulation. She was about four feet tall and did not grow any taller after one year of growth hormone therapy.
