Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta / Ehlers–Danlos (OI/EDS) overlap syndrome is a rare and recently described disorder of connective tissue, characterized by mutation of COL1A1 (17q21.33) or COL1A2 (7q21.3) genes, involved in alpha-1 and alpha-2 chains of type 1 collagen synthesis. Patients with OI/EDS overlap syndrome could show a phenotype characterized by features of both osteogenesis imperfecta (bone fragility, long bone fractures, blue sclerae, sho...

Background/Aims: Short stature is a common reason for presentation to paediatric endocrinology clinics. Getting to a diagnosis of short stature is a multi-step, complex process of tests that only in a few cases save a diagnosis. As genetic plays a strong role in height, we sought to identify known and novel genetic causes of short stature.Methods: We recruited 18 children with severe short stature, we conducted whole exo...
