Eur J Endocrinol, 2021. 185(5): p. 691-705. PMID: 34516402Brief Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of genetic variants in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Heterozygous variants in known genes involved in skeletal physiology were identified in almost 20% of children. The use of advanced genetic analysis techniques will lead to an increased identification of new genetic variants, expand...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2021;106(11):e4716-e4733. PMID: 34136918Brief Summary: In this study, 149 children referred for suspected GH insensitivity (GHI) and short stature underwent genetic characterization through different techniques, including whole exome sequencing, targeted gene sequencing and array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). Genetic alterations were identified in 80/149 subjects (54%), of which 45 were affected by GH&#1...
