Gut microbiota profiles in Korean children with growth hormone deficiency: a case-control study

So Yoon Choi, Seom Gim Kong, Gyu Min Yeon, Yoo Rha Hong, Minyoung Jung, Jung Hyun Lee

Question: Is gut microbiota composition altered in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD)?
Finding: Children with GHD exhibited altered gut microbiota composition and predicted microbial functional pathways despite similar overall microbial diversity.
Meaning: These preliminary findings suggest a potential association between gut microbiota and pediatric GHD and warrant validation in larger prospective studies.
