Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) is most commonly known to affect the young. In children, growth failure is often apparent by the end of the first or second year of life. One in every 4,000 school-age children is estimated to have GHD. Even after diagnosis, most children often find it frustrating and difficult to understand why they are a lot shorter than other children at school.
