Genome-wide screening of copy number variants in children born small for gestational age reveals several candidate genes involved in growth pathways
31 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The etiology of prenatal-onset short stature with postnatal persistence is heterogeneous. Submicroscopic chromosomal imbalances, known as copy number variants (CNVs), may play a role in growth disorders. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the CNVs present in a group of patients born small for gestational age (SGA) without a known cause. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 51 patients with prenatal and postnatal...
