Short stature in females is often caused by hemizygosity for the terminal portion of Xp due to monosomy X or a deletion. We report on a mother and daughter with short stature as sole phenotypic abnormality and deletion of bands Xp22.32-p22.33 demonstrated by classic and molecular cytogenetic analysi

Short stature is a common finding in patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome. Structural abnormalities involving the terminal short arms of the X and Y chromosomes have been shown to lead to short stature. A putative locus affecting height called PHOG/SHOX has been localized to a 170-kb critical regio
## Abstract We observed a boy with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, ichthyosis, and a terminal deletion of Xp. Steroid sulfatase deficiency was demonstrated in the patient's fibroblasts. Molecular analysis showed a deletion of the entire steroid sulfatase gene. This case represents another
## Abstract We report on an Italian boy with the MeierβGorlin syndrome (earβpatellaβshort stature syndrome). This rare autosomal recessive disorder comprises the triad of microtia, absent patellae, and growth retardation with prenatal onset. The patient had also an acute torsion of his left spermat
