Children With Short Stature Display Reduced ACE2 Expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells [PDF]
, 2022 Background: The cause of short stature remains often unknown. The renin-angiotensin system contributes to growth regulation. Several groups reported that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-knockout mice weighed less than controls.

Classification and mapping of low-statured 'shrubland' cover types in post-agricultural landscapes of the US Northeast [PDF]
The International Journal of Remote Sensing 43(19-24), (2022),
7117-7138, 2022 Novel plant communities reshape landscapes and pose challenges for land cover classification and mapping that can constrain research and stewardship efforts. In the US Northeast, emergence of low-statured woody vegetation, or shrublands, instead of secondary forests in post-agricultural landscapes is well-documented by field studies, but poorly ...

Common polymorphisms of growth hormone: Growth hormone receptor axis in Turkish children with short stature [PDF]
, 2022 Objective: A single-nucleotide polymorphism of the growth hormone 1 gene, GH1IVS4+90A>T (rs2665802), associated with short stature and a polymorphism of the growth hormone receptor gene, exon 3 deleted variant, associated with increased responsiveness to

Genetics of Short Stature [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2017 Short stature is a common and heterogeneous condition that is often genetic in etiology. For most children with genetic short stature, the specific molecular causes remain unknown; but with advances in exome/genome sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, new genetic causes of growth disorders have been identified, contributing to the understanding of
