Objective: To describe clinical, laboratory and genetic characteristics of 42 short children from 34 consanguineous Turkish families.Design: Descriptive case series.Methods: After collecting clinical information, DNA samples were analysed in three European laboratories. In 18 children (12 families) suspected of a genetic defect in the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor ...

Background: The NPR2 gene plays a critical role in the human growth plate. Pathogenic NPR2 variants can result in varying degrees of short stature. The majority of subjects have no specific clinical findings and are likely classified as idiopathic short stature.Objective: To describe the phenotypic spectrum, analyze genotype-phenotype correlations and assess the response and safety of growth hormone (GH...

Introduction: Among children with short stature, some show persistent IGF-I levels <-2.0 SDS despite a normal growth hormone (GH) response in a stimulation test. This may be caused by conditions that could benefit from recombinant human GH (rhGH) therapy (e.g. GH neurosecretory dysfunction, bioinactive GH, partial GH insensitivity). Therefore, the IGF-I generation test (IGFIGT) was implemented in 2006 using a national, standardized protocol. Children with a...
