Possible Now To Make Dwarfs Grow
About 10,000 Americans with hypopituitary dwarfism could be grown to normal height using pituitary hormones from deceased donors. Dr. Latimer of Johns Hopkins says the treatment requires about 200 pituitaries per patient per year, with 20,000 pituitaries saved annually from 100,000 autopsies. Kathy Dix, 10, of Pikesville, Md., has grown from 36 to 42 inches in two years at Johns Hopkins under Dr. Blizzard, but scarce hormone supply limits further height gains.
