Trial of Growth Hormone for Osteoporosis Pseudoglioma Syndrome
Osteoporosis pseudoglioma (OPPG) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition of
childhood osteoporosis and congenital blindness for which new treatments are needed. We have
found that body fat is increased in OPPG and muscle mass is reduced. We hypothesize that
growth hormone therapy will improve muscle mass and bone strength in OPPG.
