Introduction: Our Centre receives international referrals for genetic analysis of children with short stature (SS) and features of GH/IGF-1 insensitivity. Copy number variation (CNV) hasn’t previously been investigated in GH/IGF-1 insensitivity. We hypothesised CNVs contribute to the phenotype in our undiagnosed cohort.Experimental design/methodology: CGH was performed with oligonucleotide array using ~60,000 probes in 60 patients (38 M, mean age 7....
