Abstract：
:With modern growth hormone (GH) replacement algorithms, children with a diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency achieve at the end of pediatric GH treatment an adult height that is on the average in the normal range. Recent experience with GH replacement in young adults with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency, however, has shown that these patients present with variable degrees of somatic immaturity. As childhood GH treatment is discontinued when final height is attained, attention moves to the phase of somatic development that follows the end of longitudinal growth, called ''transition'', which had been excluded previously from consideration for either pediatric or adult GH replacement. This article reviews the changes taking place during this phase of development and their relevance for the attainment of adult body maturation. The critical role of GH in this process is described.
