Introduction: Children classified as idiopathic short stature (ISS) may have a monogenic cause that can explain their growth disorder. In this context, genetic tests emerge as a new diagnostic tool. Objectives: To determine the usefulness of WES for the genetic investigation of children with ISS.Patients and Methods: We sequentially enrolled 95 children with ISS without previous genetic testing, except for karyotyping fo...
