Part 1, Causes of Dwarfism


Dwarfism is a growth rate impediment that causes the affected person to have a shorter height than normal. It can have many causes, the most commun ones being the hypophyseal dwarfism, which is a lack of growth hormones, and the anchondroplasic dwarfism, an alteration of the bone cartilages that prevents the growth of long bones. In addition, certain illnesses can induce dwarfism, such as badly cured diabetes, metabolical disorders, alimentary defiencies, processes that disturb the normal nutrition and oxygenation of cells.
