This review presents the personal experience gained from the study follow-up and treatment of the 60 patients followed up for many years in the Israeli cohort and shows the GH-independent IGF-I effects.
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1): a growth hormone

IGF-1 is an important growth hormone, mediating the protein anabolic and linear growth promoting effect of pituitary GH and has a GH independent growth stimulating effect, which with respect to cartilage cells is possibly optimised by the synergistic action with GH.

Characterization of the growth hormone receptor gene from nine patients with Laron-type dwarfism shows that two individuals have a deletion of a large portion of the extracellular, hormone binding domain of the receptor gene.

The findings from the island of Flores, which were attributed to a new species of the genus Homo, may in fact represent a local, highly inbred, Homo sapiens population in whom a mutation for the GH receptor had occurred.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether two long‐acting insulin analogues and two short‐acting analogues exhibit IGF‐I‐like activities on cultured cancer cells in comparison with IGF-I and regular human insulin.

The major needs for the future studies include to clarify the definition of IDDM for epidemiologic study, to establish a standardized approach for IDDM registries, to use registries to evaluate viral, immunologic, and genetic differences in order to explain differential risks across populations, and to encourage the development of new population-based registries worldwide.
