pituitary dwarf
A pituitary dwarf is an individual who suffers from dwarfism due to a malfunction in the pituitary gland, which is responsible for producing growth hormone. Such individuals are usually proportionately small in size, which means that their bodily proportions are equivalent to those of average stature individuals, but their overall height is considerably less. This disorder can be caused by various underlying factors including genetic mutations, congenital defects, tumors, or diseases affecting the pituitary gland.
