Diagnosis of Short Stature in Children : Study of a Cohort of Small-sized Consulting Patients

France479 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

Many patients consult in pediatric endocrinology because of their small size. In the majority of cases, this growth delays can be explained by a hormonal, gastroenterological cause, or a chronic disease. Sometimes the reason for stunted growth can be constitutional bone disease, a genetic cause of short stature that is still underdiagnosed. The investigators wish to describe and take stock of the various additional analyzes carried out and the various diagnoses made in patients who consulted in endocrino-pediatrics at the Montpellier University Hospital due to their short stature, in 2017 and 2018, in order to better screen patients with constitutional bone disease
