The hepatic radioreceptor assay for hGH has been applied to the detection of hGH in the sera of patients with high growth hormone dwarfism (Laron dwarfism). Substantial quantities of receptor-active hGH were found in the sera of all 7 patients studied. In one patient, arginine infusion elicited a prompt increase in both immunoactive and receptor-active hGH. These observations suggest that circulating hGH in Laron dwarfism is biologically active and support the concept that the disease may be caused by a generalized defect in hGH receptors.
