The SHOX Gene The SHOX gene is present on both the X and Y sex chromosomes, in a location called the pseudoautosomal region. This region is so-called because it is comprised of homologous sequences which are present on both sex chromosomes. [brighthub.com]
For this review, abstracts of 207 publications presented by PubMed for the search term ‘SHOX’ were screened. [karger.com]
“She did not menstruate until she was 30 years old and still presented with breast and pubic hair at Tanner stage 3.” [naturalheightgrowth.com]
At the present time we are analyzing different cell systems and animal models (mouse, frog, chicken) to better understand the function of SHOX during bone development and the exploitation of the molecular signal pathway. [klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de]

Growth hormone medication The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends human growth hormone treatment (somatropin) as an option for children whose poor growth is associated with: growth hormone deficiency Turner syndrome Prader-Willi [nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk]
Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto thyroiditis, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease also occur with heightened predilection in patients with TS and can contribute to poor growth. [endocrinologyadvisor.com]

Treatment for restricted growth Treatment with growth hormone injections may benefit some people with restricted growth and can help a child with the condition grow more than they otherwise would. [nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk]
Medical Treatment Medical Treatment Medical treatment depends on the cause of short stature. For children with normal variant short stature, generally no treatment is necessary. [emedicinehealth.com]
These results could open up new possibilities for diagnosing the cause of short stature and initiating treatment before it is too late. [sciencedaily.com]
For girls with Turner syndrome, oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, may be added to growth hormone treatment. [nice.org.uk]

Somatropin treatment may stop once your child stops growing, but in some cases it may be given into adulthood because it can sometimes help prevent problems such as weak bones (osteoporosis). [nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk]
