To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2019;104:2023–2030.A child born with birth weight and/or birth length less than 2 SDS below the mean for gestational age is defined as SGA [1]. This definition implies that rather than a specific diagnostic group, SGA children are a heterogenous population with different etiologies, growth patterns and metabolic outcomes. Most SGA ...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2022 Apr 19;107(5):e1797-e1806. PMID: 35134971, doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgac064. Brief Summary: This retrospective clinical research reports the clinical/biochemical, radiological, and genetic findings of a large cohort of 209 non-syndromic 46,XY DSD patients from a single tertiary center collected over the last 25 years in Brazil. A molecular diagnosis was achieved in 59....

To read the full abstract: J Pediatr. 2019 Dec;215:192–198.Identifying the diagnosis in children with syndromic short stature and those with recognized genetic growth disorders is often challenging, as they may share many clinical features (1)(2). The candidate gene approach has many limitations in unveiling the genetic cause. Therefore, whole exome sequencing (WES) has been proposed to improve the diagnostic rate in children with short sta...

PMID: 34270938.Brief Summary: This study reports splice-disruptive variants in POU1F1 in 4 families with hypopituitarism and uses a high-throughput splicing reporter assay to create a comprehensive catalogue of such variants in or near exon 2 of the gene. The catalogue paves the way for identifying synon...
