Understanding Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS)
Idiopathic short stature (ISS) is a collective term for a group of highly heterogeneous dwarfism diseases with an unclear etiology. It refers to children with a height below 2 standard deviations (SD) of the average height for their age, gender, and race, or below the 3rd percentile (P3, -1.88 SD). These children have normal birth length, weight, and body mass ratio, and show no evidence of systemic, endocrine, nutritional, chromosomal abnormalities, or genetic variations.
