Since in most children with IUGR adult heights to be expected are below the population range, growth hormone treatment has been tried for many years, but the data available from the literature are not encouraging to date and need to be re-evaluated in[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present a short statured boy with a clear history of familial short stature, normal growth and a final height prognosis within the target height range. However, routine laboratory studies led to the diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of genetic evaluation for short stature is to provide accurate diagnosis for medical management and to provide prognosis and recurrence risk counseling for the patient and family.[nature.com]
