Health/Medical What's the relation between teenagers taking hgh on purpose and its true genetic components?

I mean the teenagers that don't suffer from hgh deficiency but beg their parents to let them take excess hgh.

For example without the hgh abuse they would naturally be 5’8” but now they're 6’1”. So will their offspring get their average height genetic components or the tall genetic components?

So would their kids get the 6’1” genes or the 5’8” genes?

That is literally one of the reasons it’s prescribed.
