Introduction: MS-MLPA is a specific and sensitive technique for detecting copy number variants and methylation defects in the regions of interest associated with imprinting diseases as Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS) and Silver Russell (SRS) syndromes and. Both are growth disorders associated with opposite molecular alterations in the 11p15.5 imprinting locus.Aim: To analyze the diagnostic efficiency of MS-MLPA in a cohort of p...

Introduction: Short Stature (SS), defined as height below -2 SD, is a common reason for referral to pediatric endocrinologists. Genetic factors determine ~80% of adult height. Lately, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to the discovery of an increasing number of novel monogenic causes for SS.Objective: The aim of this work was to identify the genetic etiology of SS of unknown origin (SSUO) in children.<p class=...

Introduction: Most paediatric rare diseases have an underlying genetic cause but making a molecular diagnosis is often still a challenge. The incorporation of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies into research and clinical workflows has improved the diagnosis of these disorders.Objective: To evaluate the process of NGS implementation for the diagnosis of genetic endocrine diseases in a tertiary public paediatric...
