If, however, only one mutant copy of the gene is inherited, the individual will be a carrier of the condition, but will not be present with any symptoms. [dovemed.com]
I am going to present some of our old data and our most recent results which lead us to conclude that we are not dealing with a single syndrome but with a group of distinct diagnostic entities that will require the use of new diagnostic tools. [link.springer.com]
This study is unique presentation because of the most numbered patients with kowarski syndrome (n = 97) is included. [abstracts.eurospe.org]

- Delayed Bone Age
Symptoms List of symptoms of Kowarski syndrome: The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Kowarski syndrome includes the 2 symptoms listed below: * Growth retardation * Delayed bone age Note that Kowarski syndrome symptoms usually [checkorphan.org]
Pathophysiology A structural abnormality of growth hormone causes low levels of somatomedin, which results in delayed bone age and growth retardation. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
Treatment
There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Growth-impaired children with a normal stimulation test were considered suspect for having the Kowarski syndrome that may benefit from treatment with growth hormone. [en.wikipedia.org]
Etiology
(Etiology) Transmission of the condition is autosomal recessive (Source: Short stature due to growth hormone qualitative anomaly; Orphanet, National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), Paris.) [dovemed.com]

Prevention
How can Kowarski Syndrome be Prevented? Currently, Kowarski Syndrome may not be preventable, since it is a genetic disorder. [dovemed.com]
Results of other studies were compatible with the production of a bioinactive GH, which prevented dimerization of the growth hormone receptor, a crucial step in GH signal transduction. [findzebra.com]
