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...
