The results of clinical and biochemical investigations on a girl with all obligatory signs of Mauriac syndrome already in infancy were compared with the different hypotheses suggested in order to explain the pathogenesis of this disease. One possible explanation for the origin of MS might be a decreased sensitivity of adenylate-cyclase to glucagon or adrenalin. Hypersensitivity to insulin, resulting in a decreased production of cyclic AMP and activation of glycogen synthetase could be excluded by measuring the urine excretion of cAMP with and without insulin. Furthermore no signs of dyspituarism were detectable on our case and the hypothesis of MS being a combination of primary glycogenosis and diabetes mellitus could also be refuted. Liver enzyme activities were normal.
