PMID: 33795686.The authors describe 5 patients with Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous (CFC) syndrome with features of septo−optic dysplasia (SOD), and GH/IGF−1 deficiency of variable degree. All were identified to carry a gain−of−function mutation in BRAF.RASopathies encompass Noonan ...

Eur J Endocrinol, 2021. 185(5): p. 691-705. PMID: 34516402Brief Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of genetic variants in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Heterozygous variants in known genes involved in skeletal physiology were identified in almost 20% of children. The use of advanced genetic analysis techniques will lead to an increased identification of new genetic variants, expand...
