Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The majority of patients presenting with short stature do not receive a definitive diagnosis. Advances in genetic sequencing allow for large-scale screening of candidate genes, potentially leading to genetic diagnoses. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to discover genetic variants that contribute to short stature in a cohort of children with no known genetic etiology. DESIGN: This was a...
