				        	Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)9,Drosophila mother anti-cerebral palsy protein(SMAD)3 and growth and bone age in children with idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods A total of 110 children with ISS admitted to the Qingdao Eighth Peo-ple's Hospital from September 2020 to September 2022 were selected as the ISS group,and 110 healthy chil-dren who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The serum BMP9 and SMAD3 levels were compared between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between BMP9,SMAD3 and sexual development status,height,weight,body mass index(BMI),osteocalcin(Ost),Leptin,bone age index(BAI),bone age difference(BAD)in children with ISS.Re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of BMP9 and SMAD3 in ISS.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of ISS.Results Compared with the control group,the level of BMP9 was significantly increased and the level of SMAD3 was significantly de-creased in the ISS group(P<0.05).There were significant differences in sexual development status,BMI,BAI,BAD,Ost and Leptin levels between the control group and ISS group(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the serum level of BMP9 was negatively correlated with SMAD3,sexual development status,height,weight,BMI,Ost,Leptin,BAI,and BAD in children with ISS(r=-0.497,-0.523,-0.447,-0.486,-0.501,-0.465,-0.502,-0.434,-0.520,P<0.05).Serum SMAD3 level was positively corre-lated with sexual development status,height,weight,BMI,Ost,Leptin,BAI,and BAD(r=0.432,0.458,0.431,0.465,0.503,0.467,0.515,0.527,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that BMP9,SMAD3 joint in-spection ISS area under curve was higher than the two separate detection(Z=2.774,2.958,P<0.05).Multi-variate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum BMP9 level was an independent risk factor for ISS,and SMAD3 level was an independent protective factor(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum level of BMP93 is in-creased and SMAD3 is decreased in children with ISS,and they are closely related to the growth and bone age of children with ISS,which can be used as molecular markers to evaluate the condition of children with ISS.
