Dublin, June 30, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Growth Hormone Deficiency Forecast in 9 Major Markets 2016-2026" report to their offering.
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) results from the destruction of normal pituitary and hypothalamic tissue and is characterized by the inadequate secretion of growth hormone (GH), from the anterior pituitary gland. GHD can occur at any point during an individual's life, but is primarily defined as being of Childhood onset (CO) or Adult onset (AO). The majority of CO is congenital whereas AO forms tend to be acquired or idiopathic.
