Supplementary Methods
Recruitment and systematic phenotyping of 565 patients
The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
(FAU). The parents designated legal guardian or the affected individual provided written informed consent. Here,
the risks and benefits of a research-based whole exome analysis were discussed and an option for disclosure of
medically actionable incidental findings provided.
We aimed to enroll patients and at least the parents (trios) in our study. All patients were examined by local
medical specialists prior to enrollment. All patients have been evaluated by an expert in pediatric endocrinology
(Prof. Dörr and his team) as well as further specialists (ophthalmologist, ENT, gastroenterologist) where
applicable. This panel of experts made the decision whether growth hormone testing and further specific clinical
evaluation was necessary. The standard serology included IGF1, IGFBP3, DHEAS, TSH, fT4, and fT3
parameters and growth hormone stimulation tests when prior tests indicated a growth hormone deficiency. 474 of
the 565 patients (84 %) had endocrine testing for growth hormone deficiency. The remaining patients did not
receive serology testing as dysmorphic features or a disproportionate growth were indicative of a genetic cause
and a endocrine cause highly unlikely. In 29 patients (5.13 %) an Arginin growth hormone stimulation test was
performed as initial serology parameters suggested a growth hormone deficiency, which could further be
excluded. Therefore, these patients were enrolled in the study. 398 patients (70.44 %) were tested for thyroid
disease and only in 3 patients (0.53 %) fT4 and TSH levels suggested a subclinical hypothyroidism. As these
patients received treatment and did not show any further clinical signs of hypothyroidism we considered this not
be the obvious cause of their short stature and they were likewise included in the study. Antibody screening for
celiac disease was followed by gastroscopy when elevated antibody parameters were detected. This applied to
one patient (0.18 %), where celiac disease was ruled out by further endoscopy and biopsy histology. No patient
had any obvious chronic diseases as potential underlying cause of short stature.
Patients with a disproportionate form of short stature received a radiographic evaluation of the spine, pelvis and
knee for metaphyseal-, epiphyseal- or spondylo-dysplasia. Overall, radiographic evaluation was performed in 52
patients (9.2%) where further clinical and dysmorphological evaluation suggested a skeletal dysplasia. X-rays
were evaluated by the same clinician and discussed in a panel of experts. As these results were not conclusive
and were not clearly attributable to one of the known forms of skeletal dysplasias by the panel of experts, these
patients were scored as idiopathic short stature and included in the study.
Bone age was measured as a means to propose the patients’ final adult height. Based on the age of the patients
and available results, we were able to obtain the bone age for 30 % of our patients.
The psychomotor development of our patients was based on the patients’ history. Patients, who were attending
regular school or were proposed to attend regular school without any known history of developmental issues have
been classified as “IQ normal”. Patients with learning disabilities requiring additional attention but without global
developmental issues have been classified as “IQ 70-85”. Patients with moderate to severe developmental issues
have not been included in the study.
Only patients with short stature of unknown origin were than referred to our genetic clinic for further genetic
evaluation. Enrollment in the study was dependent on informed consent to this study. About 95 % of the patients
presenting with short stature, who are suitable for the study, have been enrolled. Systematic phenotyping1 was
performed according to a standardized questionnaire by the same clinician. The standardized questionnaire
included an exhaustive examination and documentation of the growth pattern of the patient’s history, a family
history of at least 3 generations for evaluation of a potential mode of inheritance, all medical issues and
assessment of the developmental status. For all patients the ethnic differences in height were attributed and the 4
age correlated standard deviation score (SDS) for comparison calculated. In addition, we included WHO scores
for international comparison.
The received phenotype information was included in a database and compared with clinical information from the
London Dysmorphology database and published data. The integrated information was than discussed with a
panel of experts in clinical genetics and dysmorphology. The following diagnostic workup includes the common
causes of short stature. Further targeted analysis was based on recognizable phenotypic patterns. A karyotype
was performed for 96 % of the patients, followed by SHOX-Deletion and mutation screening (58.5 %) and FGFR
analysis (49 %). In 29.5 % of the patients imprinting alterations (UPD7, UPD14, Silver-Russel syndrome) were
tested. Molecular karyotyping (array analysis) was performed according to our approach2 taking into account copy
number variants above 100kb (Supplementary Table 1). The most common analysis for monogenic disorders was
performed for Noonan syndrome in 25 % of the patients where phenotypic features were suggestive of a
rasopathy.
Selection and clinical description of the 200 individuals for exome analysis
From the group of 565 patients 200 patients were selected where no diagnosis was made by previous targeted
analysis (491 patients). To exclude a selection bias a group of 200 patients were randomly selected and tested in
regards of age, height distribution, prenatal growth retardation (small for gestational age), stature type, head
circumference, development, sex, and bone age. A Chi-square p-value was calculated for age (P-value 0.70),
stature type (P-value 0.87), development (P-value 0.99), sex (P-value 0.91), bone age (P-value 0.68 excluding
not available values), and prenatal growth retardation (P-value 0.68). A Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was performed
to achieve a p-value for height (P-value 0.18, Supplementary Figure S1) and head circumference (P-value 0.18).
Based on these results the 200 selected patients were representative compared to the group of 565 patients.
A detailed overview of all parameters is listed in the file “Clinical Characteristics 200 Exome Individuals.pdf”.
For the 100 patients who were analysed as trios and all affected only analyzed patients harboring de novo
variants in known short stature genes, we confirmed maternity and paternity.
Exome Sequencing
Library preparation & Sequencing
We collected blood samples for DNA extraction from 200 patients, their parents and, where available, further
family members. All DNAs passed our quality control and were then enriched using the SureSelect Human All
Exon Kits (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA) and sequenced on a SOLiD 5500 XL (12 patients) (Thermo Fisher Scientific,
Waltham, MA, USA) and Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument (188 patients) (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Image analysis
and base calling was performed using the SOLiD and HiSeq instrument control software with default parameters.
Mapping & Variant calling
After demultiplexing with bcl2fastq v1.8.4 from Illumina, read alignment was performed with BWA3 version 0.7.8
using the bwa mem algorithm with the human genome assembly hg19 (GRCh37) as reference. Duplicate reads
were marked with Picard (http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard) (version 1.111). Furthermore, local re-alignment
around potential InDel sites was performed with the Genome Analysis Toolkit4 version 3.1. Single-nucleotide
variants and small insertions and deletions (indels) were detected using five different callers: HaplotypeCaller and
UnifiedGenotyper of the aforementioned Genome Analysis Toolkit, SNVer5, freeBayes6 and Platypus7. Variant
annotation was performed using ANNOVAR8 in conjunction with a variety of open and proprietary annotation
5
database files such as mutalyzer.9 We achieved an average coverage of 160x. On average, 95.5 % of the target
sequence was covered at least 20x (Supplementary Figure S2).
Variant priorization strategy & bioinformatics pipeline
Variants were assessed for all 200 individuals and family members based on different modes of inheritance
(autosomal dominant de-novo, autosomal recessive, and X-linked recessive) facilitated by using our in-house
Next Generation Sequencing Variant Analyzer tool.
Only Variants called with GATKHap, GATKUG4,10 or SNVer5 were analyzed. We included variants which were
covered by at least 10 % of the average coverage of the patient’s exome and for which at least 5 novel alleles
were detected. We included only variants with a frequency of 10 -3 or below from the 1000 Genomes Project11, the
Exome Variant Server (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/), the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC)12 server
or 0.15 % in our in-house variant database (1 out of 639 samples without growth retardation).
Different cut-off values for the ratio of novel allele to reference allele reads were used. For analyses of
homozygous variants, we included variants with at least 80 % novel allele reads. Heterozygous variants were
included only when called in at least 20 % and at most 70 % of all reads. For analyses of hemizygous variants, we
included only variants on the X-chromosome in males for which the novel allele was called in at least 20 % of all
reads. As we consider a stronger impact of protein altering variants, we restricted our analyses to exonic variants
and variants in intronic canonical splice sites ranging from -12 to +5. Furthermore, we excluded synonymous
variants from our analyses. Considering missense variants, we only included variants with a CADD-value of at
least 10 (other variants are considered benign). The remaining variants were inspected with the Integrative
Genomics Viewer to exclude sequencing errors in repetitive regions.
Variants of all 200 individuals were analyzed for 1000 known growth related genes compiled from MedGen (NCBI;
search term: short stature) and Human Phenotype ontology13 (search term: growth delay) regarding the
inheritance mode and the phenotype of each individual (Supplementary Table S2). The gene list was designed to
include all growth relevant genes in order not to miss any disease causing variant in an already known short
stature gene. Whether the patient’s phenotype fits the so far reported clinical spectrum was then carefully re-
evaluated by a clinical geneticist. Segregation of the variant in the family, including further available affected and
unaffected family members, was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and compared with the parental phenotype
and the affected status of further available family members.
Variant validation
All remaining variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. Splice site variants have been evaluated using in
silico prediction (Alamut software (ColdSpringHarborLaboratories)) and rtPCR where RNA available and
expression in lymphocytes. NPR2 variants were confirmed to be pathogenic by their inability to synthesize cGMP
and/or their retention in the endoplasmic reticulum, determined by a cGMP ELISA and immunohistochemistry
respectively. Methods were as described in Hisado-Oliva et al, 2015.14
Interpretation of variants in known short stature associated genes
Application of ACMG criteria
For the interpretation of the pathogenicity of variants in known short stature associated genes, we applied the
recommendation for the interpretation of sequence variants of the American College of Medical Genetics and
Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology from Richards et al. (Table on next page).15 Thereby, we
defined a null variant as a nonsense variant, a frameshift variant, a canonical ±1 or 2 splice site variant or a splice
site variant with an effect on splicing as confirmed by rtPCR. As a database for previously reported disease 6
causing mutations, we used ClinVar and the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD)16 updated 2015 (PS1,
PS3, PM5, PP2, BP1). PS2 was fulfilled for all our de novo mutations as we confirmed maternity and paternity
based on exome data from trios (see also section “Selection and clinical description of the 200 individuals for
exome analysis”) or in case of de novo mutations in patients with affected only exomes based on genotypes by
microsatellite analyses. PS4 was interpreted as fulfilled, if the Odds Ratio was higher than 5 when comparing the
frequency in our 200 patients to the frequency in a control cohort of 1187 controls (i.e. BS2 was not fulfilled). PM2
was interpreted according to the frequency of the variant in ExAC. PM2 was fulfilled for a frequency below 10-3 for
recessive and below 10-4 for dominant inherited variants. These cut-off values were chosen based on the
observation of similar frequencies for pathogenic mutations in known short stature genes. PP1 was fulfilled, if at
least one further family member was affected of the disease and carried the mutation. BA1, BP2 and BP7 were
never fulfilled according to our variant selection criteria. PP3 was fulfilled, if the Combined Annotation Dependent
Depletion score (CADD)17 was higher than 15 and at least two out of four further in silico prediction programmes
(SIFT18,19, PolyPhen-220, MutationTaster21 and MutationAssessor22,23) predicted deleterious (i.e. BP4 was not
fulfilled). As variants were excluded, if an equally affected family member did not carry the same mutation or if an
unaffected family member also carries the same mutation, BS4 was never fulfilled. This information is also
summarized in the following table. The final categorization based on these criteria was then performed using the
Genetic Variant Interpretation Tool24.

Predictive model for subgrouping based on phenotypic information
A support vector machine approach was used to examine the predictive value of the combination of height, OFC,
intellectual disability, syndromic vs. isolated phenotype, prenatal growth retardation and accelerated/decelerated
bone age. From a collective of 210 patients, 100 were randomly selected as a training sample and used to train
an SVM with SVMlight.25 Utilizing first a linear, than a polynomial kernel, a model was generated for predicting the
mutation status in the remaining 110 patients.
Phenotype re-evaluation of the identified variants
All patients where we identified mutations in known short stature associated genes were thoroughly re-evaluated
for associated clinical features reported in the respective instances by a board of clinical experts. This included
the evaluation of the parental phenotype based on the segregation of the identified mutation. We considered the
segregation to be confirmed when either both parents showed a height above -2 SDS and no obvious phenotypic
features associated with the phenotype in the patient in case of a de novo, homozygous, compound heterozygous
or X-linked recessive inherited variant, or the parent carrying the heterozygous mutation showed convincing
clinical features in case of an autosomal dominant inheritance. As we considered incomplete penetrance in an
affected parent, a parent carrying the mutation was considered affected even when the height was above -2 SDS,
but additional clinical signs and further family history was indicative of the inheritance pattern. As available, further
affected and unaffected family members were analyzed in regards to the identified mutation.
