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...

In Brief: The 11th edition of the ‘Nosology’ is significantly expanded, now covering 771 conditions linked to 552 genes. In a major shift from previous editions, it has adopted a dyadic naming system that defines disorders based on both their phenotypic and genetic features. It continues to be a vital tool for diagnosing and communicating about genetic skeletal disorders.Commentary: The first Nosology of genetic skeletal disorders was published...
