Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): The aim of this double-blind cross-over, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate effects of GH-treatment versus withdrawal of GH, after final height is reached, on weight, body composition (as measured with DXA), psychosocial functioning (as measured with GIT, behavioural questionnaires), carbohydrate metabolism (as measured with OGTT), circulating lipids (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Lipoprotein A, TG), and sleep-related breathing (polysomnography) during transition period until the age of 24 years.
Main Objective: To assess effects of GH-treatment versus placebo in young adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome after reaching final height on
- body composition
- carbohydrate metabolism
- psychosocial functioning
- sleep-related breathing disorders
- circulating lipids
- blood pressure
Secondary Objective: - To study the effects of GH-treatment versus placebo in young adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome after reaching final height on thyroid hormone levels, IGF-I and IGF binding proteins, adiponectin, ghrelin.
- To study compliance to the diet.
