Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the causes of unexplained short stature (SS) in patients referred to a genetic center between 1988 and 1998, while also assessing the referral process.
- During the study period, 353 patients (average age 11.5 years, predominantly female) were analyzed; 19% of girls had Turner syndrome, and many were found to have normal variants or insufficient classification information.
- The findings emphasize the importance of genetic testing in diagnosing SS, particularly for girls at risk of Turner syndrome, and indicate flaws in the existing referral system for these patients.
