Introduction: Growth restriction (GR) comprises ~50% of new patient referrals to paediatric endocrine clinics with <20% receiving a clear diagnosis. Enhanced genetic testing and stratification leading to tailored clinical care is a fundamental need. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was offered to patients recruited to the 100,000 Genomes Project (100 KGP), leading to new diagnoses in ~25% of all rare disease participants. The analysis pipeline uses disease-spe...
