Official Title: Genetic Causes of Growth Disorders
Brief Summary:
Background:
- Some growth disorders are caused by a change in genes. Genes are the instructions the body uses to function. Changes in genes often cause them not to work correctly. Researchers want to use a new technology called exome sequencing, to look at many genes at once. This is done by looking at DNA from blood or saliva in a lab. This method may help find the cause of disorders that researchers haven t been able to find using past methods.
Objectives:
- To better understand genetic causes of growth disorders.
Eligibility:
- Children and adults with growth disorders and their family members.
