Abstract

Objective: SHOX gene mutations constitute one of the genetic causes of short stature. The clinical phenotype includes variable degrees of growth impairment, such as Langer mesomelic dysplasia (LMD), Leri-weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) or idiopathic short stature (ISS). The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and molecular results of SHOX deficiency in a group of Turkish patients who had skeletal findings with and without short stature.
