Short Stature Homeobox-Containing Haploinsufficiency in Seven Siblings with Short Stature
Deficiency of the short stature homeobox-containing (SHOX) gene is a frequent cause of short stature in children (2-15%). Here, we report 7 siblings with SHOX deficiency due to a point mutation in the SHOX gene. Index case was a 3-year-old male who presented for evaluation of short stature. His past medical history and birth history were unremarkable. Family history was notable for multiple ind...
متن کاملShort stature due to SHOX deficiency: genotype, phenotype, and therapy.
SHOX deficiency is a frequent cause of short stature. The short stature homeobox-containing gene resides in the telomeric PAR1 region on the short arm of both sex chromosomes and escapes X inactivation. For this review, abstracts of 207 publications presented by PubMed for the search term 'SHOX' were screened. Heterozygote SHOX mutations (80% deletions) were detected in 2-15% of individuals wit...

متن کاملBNP is a transcriptional target of the short stature homeobox gene SHOX.
Short stature due to SHOX deficiency represents a common congenital form of growth failure and is involved in the aetiology of 'idiopathic' short stature and the growth deficits and skeletal anomalies in Leri-Weill, Langer and Turner syndromes. Although much is known on the clinical and molecular aspects of SHOX haploinsufficiency, the integration of SHOX in the signalling pathways regulating b...
