STATION#05
During a visit, you noted a 7-year-old girl to be growing poorly. She has had a 
minimal increase in height during the last 2 years, but her weight continues to 
rack at the 25th percentile. The mother reports that her daughter is a picky
eater but is otherwise well. The girl has no constipation, diarrhea or other sign
of malabsorption. Her parents are not concerned because her mother is 5 feet, 
1 inch (155cm) tall and her father is 5 feet, 6 inches (168cm) tall, and both had 
delayed puberty and had growth spurts in their late teenage years.

QUESTIONS:
1.What is the diagnosis?
