MECHANISMS IN ENDOCRINOLOGY: Novel genetic causes of short stature
18 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
The fast technological development, particularly single nucleotide polymorphism array, array-comparative genomic hybridization, and whole exome sequencing, has led to the discovery of many novel genetic causes of growth failure. In this review we discuss a selection of these, according to a diagnostic classification centred on the epiphyseal growth plate. We successively discuss disorders in hormone signalling,...
