Assuming the parents/doctors realize the child will be below average stature, say 5'4"/163cm. How many inches/cm can you really expect from HGH when you start early? How long does it have to be taken?
Does anyone have any relevant information here?

Cheers

Are you talking about a kid who is short due to genetics or a kid with an actual growth hormone deficiency?

Due to genetics, let's say an average height father and a short mother and the kid inherited the height genes from the mother's side.

Average is 2.5cm to 7.5cm, best case scenario is 10cm. How old are you now?

Depends on your family's financial condition and if you are around -2SD of the average height and if either of them doesn't permit then you can't achieve HGH injection.
How effective depends on your growth plates.

It's dangerous to use HGH if the kid doesn't have any growth hormone problems and is simply just short because of genetics. There's a risk of tumor growth and a lot of dangerous things such as organ failure due to abnormal growth; also it will be impossible to prescribe unless you have hormone deficiencies (at least where I live).

Yes if I recall you have to be like 155-8cm to get it prescribed or have hormone deficiency, otherwise the doctor will not permit you to take it.

In fact it depends on your country's average height. For instance if you are only 162cm tall around 18 y.o in America then you can achieve HGH according to your country's growth reference.

I hope this isn't about pining over how tall you'd be if you'd started HGH at some age.
