J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020 Jun 1;105(6):dgaa131. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa131. PMID: 32170311Genetic control of height has been widely explored using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in multi-ethnic populations (1-4). Although familial short stature (FSS) is the most common type of short stature, its genetic profile and impact on bone metabolism remains to be investigated. This GWAS...

Brief Summary: This translational study reveals a novel mechanism underlying syndromic gonadal dysgenesis (GD). It introduces a condition termed INDYGON syndrome (Intellectual disability, Neurodevelopmental defects and Developmental delay with 46,XY GONadal dysgenesis).46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a rare disorder of sex development (DSD) affecting 1-9 per 100,000 live births.
