Objective To evaluate the influence of prematurity on near-adult height (NAH) after GH treatment. Design KIGS (Pfizer International Growth Database) was queried for children born preterm treated with GH. Setting KIGS database. Patients A total of 586 children short in stature born preterm with various GH status and with available gestational age (GA), birth weight, and NAH, all treated with GH. Intervention GH treatment. Main outcome measure NAH. Results Values were expressed as median. From the 586 children included, 482 born appropriate for GA (AGA; median age 8.26 years) and 104 born small for gestational age (SGA) (median age 8.54 years); 66.6% of preterm AGA had GH peak less then 7 µg/L during a provocation test, whereas only 8.6% of preterm SGA. Change in height standard deviation scores (SDS) from GH start to NAH after 8.04 years of GH treatment was 1.82 in preterm AGA. Respective values were 7.08 years and 1.08 SDS for preterm SGA (P less then 0.001); 57% of the variability of the growth response to NAH could be explained, and the distance to parental height was the strongest predictor. No significant changes in height SDS were observed from puberty start to NAH. No correlation was found with GA. GH treatment was well tolerated. Conclusion GH treatment resulted in significant improvement in height in children born preterm, particularly during prepubertal years and for those with GH deficiency. The degree of prematurity did not influence the growth response.Mutations in the RNA-binding protein FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease. FUS plays a role in numerous aspects of RNA metabolism, including mRNA splicing. However, the impact of ALS-causative mutations on splicing has not been fully char
