A polygenic score for height identifies an unmeasured genetic predisposition among pediatric patients with idiopathic short stature

Abstract Background A subset of children with short stature do not have an identified clinical explanation after extensive diagnostic evaluation. We hypothesized that a polygenic score for height (PGSheight) could identify children with non-familial idiopathic short stature (ISS-NF) who carry a poly...
