In the absence of a particular phenotype which could help in the indication of a specific genetic test, a comprehensive genome assessment may be required, such as the use of comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays, especially indicated in patients with short stature, dysmorphic features and developmental delay. We present two cases of patients in whom genetic testing contributed to the diagnosis.Case 19 years and 9 months old girl with short stature and dysmorphic features. Born by Caesarean section at 27 weeks of gestational age (GA): weight 750g (SD: −1:31), size 34cm (SD: −0.84). She had initial psychomotor retardation with favourable progression. Mild pulmonary valve stenosis. Primary autoimmune hypothyroidism under treatment from 4 years and 6 months. Physical examination: height 125.5cm (SD: −1.96), BMI 14.8kg/m2 (SD: −1.15) arm span 129cm, US/LS=0.84, sitting height/height=0.53 (PC 50). Dolichocephaly, elongated facies, broad forehead, hypertelorism, flat nasal root, antimongoloid palpebral fissure, thin upper lip, gothic palate, broad chest, short neck, cubitus valgus, pectus excavatum, joint hyperlaxity and the rest normal. Tanner I. Additional examinations: blood count, blood biochemistry, TSH, free T4, all normal. IGF1 202mg/dl (SD: +0.65). Karyotype 46 XX. Bone age of 8 years and 3 months for 9 years and 3 months (TW2RUS). Due to the existence of short stature, dysmorphic features and pulmonary stenosis, exome capture and sequencing is performed, initially proceeding to screening for variants in genes described as responsible for Noonan syndrome. After a negative result, other genes listed in OMIM were studied, identifying a heterozygous frameshift mutation in the SKI gene (variant c.1799dupA) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>) described in the literature as responsible for Shprintzen–Goldberg syndrome (SGS) (OMIM#<a id="intr0010" class="elsevierStyleInterRef" href="omim:182212">182212</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia>Case 28 years and 3 months old girl with short stature, dysmorphic features and psychomotor retardation of unknown cause. Parents with second degree consanguinity. Born at 32 weeks of GA: weight 1850g (SD: +0.6), size 43cm (SD: +0.8). Primary autoimmune hypothyroidism diagnosed at the age of 2. Physical examination: height 109.1cm (SD: −3.8), head circumference 48cm (SD: −3.02), BMI 13.4kg/m2 (SD: −1.12) arm span 107cm, sitting height/height=0.54 (PC 50), US/LS=1.1. Dolichocephaly, hypertelorism, bilateral epicanthus, flat nasal root, wide philtrum, thin upper lip, gothic palate, frontal bossing, large pinnae usually implanted, tapered fingers and the rest normal. Tanner I. Additional examinations: blood count, blood biochemistry, TSH, free T4, all normal. Karyotype 46 XX, IGF-1 172ng/ml (SD: −0.8). Bone age: 7 years for 8 years and 3 months (TW2RUS). CGH arrays: 16p11.2 duplication of 517Kb.Most dysmorphic syndromes are included within the group of rare diseases, understood as those whose prevalence is less than 5 cases per 10,000 people.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">1</a> Short stature is frequently associated with other syndromes, has a multifactorial aetiology and may present associated hormone deficiencies. Although our 2 patients have short stature and some degree of psychomotor retardation, they lack comorbidities, except for primary autoimmune hypothyroidism, which is well controlled. Both have facial dysmorphic features, some common, but not pathognomonic of any entity. Extended genetic studies allowed an etiologic orientation in both cases. A mutation in the SKI gene, responsible for SGS, was described in the first patient, with a dominant inheritance pattern and low prevalence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">2</a> Patients with SGS have no pathognomonic signs. Their diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical features.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">3</a> Two-thirds of patients present with hypertelorism, micrognathia and low-set and rotated ears. Craniosynostosis, dolichocephaly, blepharoptosis, exophthalmos, strabismus, maxillary hypoplasia, skeletal and auricular malformations (arachnodactyly, sternal deformities, scoliosis, and joint hyperlaxity) are also described.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">3</a> A 16p11.2 duplication was identified in the second case, characterized by developmental delay, autistic or repetitive behaviour, dysmorphic features, microcephaly, short stature and tapered fingers.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045">4</a> Some of the features most often found include: hypertelorism, wide philtrum, thin upper lip, tapered fingers, frontal bossing with low posterior hairline; some of which were present in the second case.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050">5</a>In conclusion, short stature with dysmorphic features is a difficult-to-diagnose entity.

Launched in 1943, Medicina Clínica is a fortnightly journal aimed at the promotion of clinical research and practice among internal medicine and other specialists. The key characteristics of Medicina Clínica are the scientific and methodological rigor of its manuscripts, the topicality of its contents, and, especially, its practical focus with highly useful information for clinical practice. Medicina Clínica is predominantly interested in publishing original research manuscripts, which are rigorously selected according to their quality, originality, and interest, and also in continued medical education-oriented manuscripts, which are commissioned by the journal to relevant authors (Editorials, Reviews, and Diagnosis and Treatment). These manuscripts contain updated topics with a major clinical or conceptual relevance in modern medicine. The journal adheres to the standards of academic research publications in all aspects including peer-review and ethical principles. Medicina Clínica is included in the General and Internal Medicine category of Thomson Reuters.
