The hallmarks of familial short stature (also referred to as genetic short stature) include bone age appropriate for chronologic age, normal growth velocity, and predicted adult height appropriate to the familial pattern (using the Bayley-Pinneau or Tanner-Goldstein-Whitehouse tables). By contrast, ...
Childhood short stature comprises Varity of endocrinal, systemic, Skeletal genetic disorders of pediatrics and is not just confined for endocrinal disorder only. A systemic approach often reduces the need for test which is often expensive unnecessary. Use growth chart asses bone age during ...
The participant selection process is shown as a flow chart in Fig. 1. The 232 children and adolescents with short stature were unrelated individuals. In total, there were 154 males and 78 females, and the average age was 10.4 ± 3.6 years. All subjects were selected based on the ...
The bone age is age appropriate in familial short stature, but retarded in constitutional delay. Final adult height is characterized by short stature in genetic short stature but may be normal in constitutional delay. In most cases of both constitutional delay and familial short stature, an ...

Use growth chart asses bone age during evaluation. Short heavy child are generally due to Endocrine causes, Short thin are due to systemic disease, Short with normal velocity are may be due to Constitutional delay in growth puberty or Familial short stature, differentiation can be done by Bone ...
The results indicated that age, weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), insulin-like growth factor-1 standard deviation scores (IGF-1 SDS), creatinine (Cr), SUA, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and pubertal stage were positively ...
Serial height measurements over time documented on a growth chart are key in identifying abnormal growth. Short or tall stature is usually caused by variants of a normal growth pattern, although some patients may have serious underlying pathologies. A comprehensive history and physical examination can...
Children who did not meet the above-mentioned age criteria, those with complications that may affect height, and those who were administered OIT within the previous 1 year were excluded from the analysis as well. By examining the clinical records as well as the questionnaires used for recording ...
