At 7 years old Claire was 187cm. Claire is now 8 years of age and recently was treated overseas for a pituitary tumour producing too much growth hormone, which resulted in gigantism, causing many medical issues.
Pituitary gigantism is a very rare growth disorder that is caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone, usually by a pituitary tumour, starting in childhood and adolescence. The cause of pituitary gigantism is often unknown, but genetic factors play an important role.
Your donation will go into research in Australia to understand the intricacies of pituitary disorders.
