Kowarski syndrome is short stature associated with bioinactive growth hormone (GH). It is clinically characterized by normal or slightly increased GH secretion, pathologically low IGF-I levels, and normal catch-up growth on GH-replacement therapy. Missense mutations in the GH1 gene leading to Kowarski syndrome have been reported.
