Introduction: Growth disorders are often caused by monogenic conditions, and genetic investigation should be guided by clinical findings. However, in children with ISS, the absence of specific clinical features prevents the candidate gene approach. ACMG practice guideline (2021) recommends that children with ISS could be evaluated using targeted panel sequencing or WES. In commercial laboratories, WES is often performed and the genetic evaluation is offered as...
