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 ...

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...
