Safety and Efficacy of Pegvisomant in Children With Growth Hormone Excess

Genetics of Endocrine Tumours - Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenoma - FIPA
The research is aimed at identifying new predisposition genes for endocrine tumours. Our focus initially is on pituitary adenomas including growth hormone-secreting tumors (somatotrophinomas) and prolactin secreting tumours…
