Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria 1. The patient's parents or legal guardians must read, understand, and sign the informed consent form, 2. Patients with reading ability must read (or be read to them by others) and sign the informed consent form for children; 3. Children with short stature aged 2 years and above; 4.
