Dwarfism, Pituitary
(Growth Hormone Deficiency Dwarfism; Hypophysial Dwarf; Hyposomatotrophic Dwarfism; Pituitary Dwarf)
A form of dwarfism caused by complete or partial GROWTH HORMONE deficiency, resulting from either the lack of GROWTH HORMONE-RELEASING FACTOR from the hypothalamus or from the mutations in the growth hormone gene (GH1) in the pituitary gland. It is also known as Type I pituitary dwarfism. Human hypophysial dwarf is caused by a deficiency of human growth hormone during development.
