The genetic landscape of children born small for gestational age with persistent short stature (SGA-SS)

Introduction. Among children born small for gestational age, 10-15% fails to catch-up and remains short (SGA-SS). The underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. We aim to decipher genetic aetiologies of SGA-SS within a large single-centre cohort. Methods. Out of 820 patients treated with growth hormone (GH), 256 were classified as SGA-SS (birth length and/or birth weight
