J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020 Jun 1;105(6):dgaa131. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa131. PMID: 32170311Genetic control of height has been widely explored using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in multi-ethnic populations (1-4). Although familial short stature (FSS) is the most common type of short stature, its genetic profile and impact on bone metabolism remains to be investigated. This GWAS...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020;105:3203–3214. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa443. PMID: 32652002The authors performed a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) to assess the role of common genetic variants in the response to GH therapy. A total of 614 children treated with GH were included: 276 with idiopathic GHD, 297 with ISS, and 41 born SGA. The findings implicate some novel mechanisms...

5. Bone, Growth Plate and Mineral Metabolism

Baroncelli Marta , Raimann Adalbert , Padidela Raja , Nilsson Ola

PrefaceThe skeletal research field continues to develop rapidly and has produced several seminal findings in the last year including advances in the treatment of rare skeletal disorders, and an even deeper understanding into the molecular mechanisms that control skeletal development, endochondral bone formation, mineralization of skeletal tissues and skeletal biology. The targeting of the C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) pathway and options to directly a...
