The data regarding how this classification is associated with variation in clinical and biochemical phenotype and how these findings associate with pituitary morphology remains sparse, especially in the Indian population. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain the differences in the pattern of auxological, clinical features including pituitary hypoplasia, and endocrinological profile among patients with severe GHD, partial GHD, and MPHD in the Indian population and to evaluate the association of pituitary height with various clinical and hormonal parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study in 100 patients with idiopathic GHD.

A significant difference was observed in the chronological age, bone age retardation (CA-BA), height SDS, weight SDS, peak GH response, IGF-1, IGF-1 SDS, and prevalence of pituitary hypoplasia, pituitary height, and pituitary height SDS among these three groups. In the composite population of GHD, pituitary height SDS was correlated with peak GH, basal IGF-I SDS, and body height SDS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The clinical and biochemical phenotype differs significantly among the various types of GHD.
