Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To elucidate the genetic causes of severe primary insulin-like growth factor-I deficiency (SPIGFD) by systematic, targeted, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based resequencing of growth-related genes. METHODS: Clinical phenotyping followed by NGS in 17 families including 6 affected sib pairs. RESULTS: We identified disease-causing, heterozygous, de novo variants in HRAS (p.Gly13Cys) and FAM111A...
