The main role of the acid-labile subunit (ALS) is to stabilize the IGFBP3/IGF complexes. Pathogenic variants in the gene coding for ALS (IGFALS) results in IGF1 and IGFBP3 deficiency, short stature, delay puberty and insulin resistance. The aim of these study was to identify the genetic cause in a patient with suspected ALS deficiency. The proband is the third son of non-consanguineous parents, evaluated for the first time at 17.3 years due to short stature (−2....
