摘要: 矮身材是儿科内分泌与遗传代谢领域的常见就诊原因,近年来其遗传性病因日益受到重视。任何影响身高增长相关基因的缺陷均可能导致矮身材,这些缺陷主要通过干扰生长板软骨细胞的正常增殖与分化来实现。其中,生长激素-胰岛素样生长因子轴的功能异常是经典机制,但营养状态、炎性因子、旁分泌信号、细胞外基质以及细胞内信号通路等多种因素也共同参与调控。此类患儿在临床上多伴有身体比例异常、阳性家族史或多系统畸形及功能异常,且特定基因变异常对应特征性表型。因此,系统收集表型信息并结合遗传学检测,已成为实现基因相关矮身材精准诊疗的核心策略。

Abstract: Short stature is a common reason for consultation in the field of pediatric endocrinology and genetic metabolism, and its genetic etiology has garnered increasing attention in recent years.Defects in any genes involved in the process of height growth can lead to short stature, primarily by disrupting the normal proliferation and differentiation of growth plate chondrocytes.While dysfunction of the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis represents a classic mechanism, multiple other factors—such as nutritional status, inflammatory cytokines, paracrine signaling, extracellular matrix, and intracellular signaling pathways—are also jointly involved in its regulation.Affected children often present clinically with abnormal body proportions, a positive family history, multisystem malformations or functional impairments, with specific genetic variants frequently correlating with distinct phenotypic profiles.Therefore, the systematic collection of phenotypic information combined with genetic testing has become a core strategy for achieving precision diagnosis and treatment of genetic-related short stature.
