description

SHOX haploinsufficiency (SHOX-D) is a genetic cause of disharmonic short stature. However, the different impact on phenotype can show differences between patients with the same genotype. GH ameliorates final height, with significant differences between patients for the putative role of environmental factors who can influence growth.
