Abstract Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a term used to describe the status of children with short stature that cannot be attributed to a specific cause. Many children diagnosed as having ISS have partial GH insensitivity, which can result from disturbances at various points of the GH-IGF-I axis.

Short stature homeoboxcontaining gene and idiopathic short stature
Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2009The term idiopathic short stature (ISS) refers to patients who are short due to various unknown reasons. Although it is clear that multiple factors contribute to final height, genetic factors play a crucial role. Mutations of a human homeobox gene, short stature homeobox-containing (SHOX) gene, have been shown to be associated with the short stature ...

Adult height and growth patterns are largely genetically programmed. Studies in twins have indicated that the heritability of height is high (>80%), suggesting that genetic variation is the main determinant of stature. Height exhibits a normal (Gaussian) distribution according to sex, age, and ancestry.

SXATUR~, the quantitative measure of height, varies widely within each ethnic group with a fairly normal distribution. Of the numerous patients whom the physi, clan encounters because of short stature, relatively few are pathologically small in the context of family and ethnic background.

Short stature is defined as a height less than those in the second percentile for age and sex on the appropriate growth chart. Abnormalities of growth may be detected earlier by assessing growth velocity. Specialists refer to an absolute height for which the z score is <−2 SDs for age, or a linear growth velocity with a z score <−1 SDs for age.
