The Journal of Pediatrics, 1978
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.

Genetic evaluation of short stature
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2011After a proper medical history, growth analysis and physical examination of a short child, followed by radiological and laboratory screening, the clinician may decide to perform genetic testing. We propose several clinical algorithms that can be used to establish the diagnosis.

CLONIDINE TREATMENT FOR SHORT STATURE
The Lancet, 198734 pubertal children with constitutional growth delay (CGD) were treated with clonidine orally twice a day. In 25 of the children the height velocity rose on clonidine treatment, and in 21 of them by more than 2 cm/yr during the first 6 months of treatment (mean [SD] growth increment 4.4 [0.5] cm/yr).

Short Stature in Children [PDF]
The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2018 Short stature is a common problem in children. Short stature occurred due to many causes; these causes may be genetic, environmental or chronic diseases. Diagnosis of short stature could be achieved by two combined ways, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Treatment of short stature depends on the right diagnoses and the causative agent.

Psychosocial effects of short stature
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2006The treatment of children with short stature was revolutionized by the creation of recombinant growth hormone therapy. While it cannot be denied that therapy adds significant height to children who are growth hormone deficient, such treatment is both painful, requiring many injections for years, as well as extremely expensive, both for the children's ...

SHOX in Short Stature Syndromes
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2001Linear growth is a multifactorial trait that is influenced and regulated by a combination of environmental and internal factors. Among the intrinsic determinants of final body height, genetic factors have become more and more prominent, and the list of genes involved in growth-related processes has been extended accordingly.

Stature Prediction in Short Boys
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1977Predictions of adult stature were made for 28 short boys without organic disease. Forty-five pairs of matching estimates were made by the Bayley-Pinneau (B-P) and Roche-Wainer-Thissen (RWT) methods. The errors were less than 3 cm for 20 of the B-P estimates and 27 of the RWT estimates with the RWT method tending to overpredict slightly and the B-P ...

Unusual cause of short stature
The American Journal of Medicine, 1985A 24-year-old man evaluated for paresthesias and short stature was found to be hypocalcemic on initial presentation. Further evaluation showed that he had a low-normal parathormone level by amino-terminal assay, medullary stenosis of the long bones, and multiple ophthalmologic abnormalities.

Delayed Puberty, Short Stature, and Tall Stature
2010Delayed puberty and short stature are common complaints in adolescence. While they are most commonly benign variations of normal development, they can occasionally indicate more serious endocrine or systemic conditions. A careful history, physical exam, and sometimes laboratory and radiographic studies and/or provocative testing may help to determine ...
