Patient's question:
My cousin's child is a female dwarf. The family spent a lot of money on his treatment, but it didn't help. Under the explanation of relatives, she got a boyfriend this spring who is also a dwarf. What is the cause of cartilage ossification imperfecta dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a lack of growth hormone or insufficient excretion. The lack of growth hormone may be primary or organic in nature. It could also be due to abnormal pituitary development leading to impaired growth hormone production and excretion. The third major factor is familial short stature. Some dwarfs may have a hereditary condition, possibly related to generational inheritance factors. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
