Study on the deletions of SHOX gene and the correlation with corresponding phenotypes
Objective:To study the deficiency ofshort stature homeobox containing (SHOX)gene deficiency ofshort stature and the relationship between genotypes and its corresponding phenotypes. Methods:Microsatellite analysis and direct sequencing were selected to analyze the deletions and mutations of SHOX gene in 203 cases of short stature;in addition
anthropometric measures were assessed and radiographs of the left forearms and wrists in patients were collected to observe their phenotypes. Results:one mutation and eleven deletions were found;Detailed examination revealed certain dysmorphics
such as short forearm and lower leg
et al. Conclusion:In our study
the prevalence of SHOX deficiency in patients with short stature was 5.9%
and certain correlations had been found between genotypes and corresponding phenotypes。
