Introduction: GH1 was the first gene associated with isolated GH deficiency (IGHD) due to a gene deletion described in 1981. Subsequently, frameshift, homozygous missense and nonsense allelic variants, and splice site allelic variants causing GHD were reported.Aim: Use whole exome sequencing (WES) in the search of variants in known genes and also new genes associated to IGHD and determine the effect of variants....
