Their median birth weight z-score (\u22120.60) was below the population average; 12 (20%) patients were born small for gestational age. Height attainment progressively declined from birth until the end of prepuberty (z-score \u22121.95), whereas weight-for-height z-score did not (+0.26). Of the 59 patients, 38 (64%) had all height z-scores below 0 during prepuberty, and 7 (12%) had z-scores below \u22122.0. Age at the end of prepuberty, number of APECED manifestations, duration of glucocorticoid treatment, and growth hormone deficiency correlated negatively with height z-score at the end of prepuberty (P &amp;lt; .0001; P = .041; P = .013; P = .034, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Children with APECED had a progressive growth impairment from birth through prepuberty.
