Clinical and Genetic Characterization of a Cohort of Small-for-Gestational-Age Patients: Cost-Effectiveness of Whole-Exome Sequencing and Effectiveness of Treatment with GH.

Develop a clinical and genetic characterization, in a group of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) patients who did not experience catch-up growth In an ambispective cohort study with (SGA) patients. These patients received one treatment with growth hormone (GH) over 14 years. This study analyzes their response to treatment and conducts a genetic analysis in order to identify cases with specific phenotypic and auxological characteristics, defined as presenting two or more dysmorphic traits and/or a stature below -3 SDS (standard deviation score).
