This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this research study is to find out whether children with Fanconi anemia will grow taller when treated with thyroid medicine. Children with Fanconi anemia are often shorter than other children their age and do not grow to normal height. This may be due low levels of thyroid hormone in the body. This medicine raises thyroid hormone levels in the body. Thyroid is a normally occurring chemical messenger in the body that is needed to grow taller. The second purpose of this study is to find out what effect (good or bad) thyroid hormone has on blood counts. Each child will be randomized to receive either treatment or placebo first for a total of 7 months in each treatment period. Each child will be in the study for a total of 14 months.

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。这项研究的目的是找出范可尼贫血的儿童在接受甲状腺药物治疗时是否会长高。患有范可尼贫血的儿童通常比同龄的其他儿童矮，并且不会长到正常身高。这可能是由于体内甲状腺激素水平较低所致。这种药能提高体内的甲状腺激素水平。甲状腺是一种正常发生的化学信使，在体内，这是需要长高。这项研究的第二个目的是找出甲状腺激素对血细胞计数的影响（好的或坏的）。每例儿童将随机接受治疗或安慰剂，每个治疗阶段共7个月。每名儿童将参与研究共14个月。
