ABSTRACT
Short stature is diagnosed according to the person below the normal height of mean -2 standard de-viation or below the third percentile,respectively,of the same race,age,and sex.Diagnosis needs comprehensive assess-ment,including detailed medical history collection,detailed physical examination and appropriate laboratory tests.There are limitations of these factors in diagnosing the reasons of short stature,but the rapid progress on genomics and techno-logy enriched the diagnostic methods.Ongoing research efforts to identify genes influencing growth will provide a better understanding of mechanisms underlying abnormal growth and will eventually lead to novel management approaches.
