JAMA Netw Open. 2021 May 3;4(5):e219878. doi: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2021.987.Ferreira et al. assessed postnatal growth and possible hypopituitarism at the age of 27 months in 65 children with microcephaly (head circumference, HC, < -2 S.D.) associated with congenital Zika virus (CZV) infection. Despite short stature, marked microcephaly and severe brain abnorm...

Eur J Endocrinol, 2021. 185(5): p. 691-705. PMID: 34516402Brief Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of genetic variants in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Heterozygous variants in known genes involved in skeletal physiology were identified in almost 20% of children. The use of advanced genetic analysis techniques will lead to an increased identification of new genetic variants, expand...
