Question

Human growth Hormone is genetically engineered and inserted into human tissue to help stimulate growth in people with dwarfism. What are possible concerns that scientists have about the longterm effects of this process

Answer 1

1) Could cause abnormal growth such as extrusions
2) Can not be regulated so it could not work or grow out of control

Answer 2

Answer:

The major concern of scientists with the long-term effects of homogenous growth hormone treatment is the emergence of intracranial hypertension.

Explanation:

As the name implies, growth hormone is responsible for the growth of the human organism. People with a deficiency of this hormone may have dwarfism, or problems in some regions of the body, requiring hormone therapy with growth hormone.

However, this therapy should always be done with medical supervision, so that possible side effects are avoided. Generally, this therapy has no side effects, but the use of long-term growth hormone can cause an individual to develop intracranial hypertension that has very uncomfortable symptoms such as headache, vomiting, visual changes, agitation, among others.
