Dwarfism Genetics Skeletal dysplasia is caused by a genetic mutation. The gene mutation can occur spontaneously or can be inherited. Diastrophic dysplasia and usually spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias are inherited in a recessive manner. This means a child must receive two copies of the mutated gene –...

Combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) is characterised by a lack of growth hormone (GH) and at least one additional pituitary hormone. In isolated GH deficiency, the patient is deficient only for GH. The genetics of CPHD involves at least 30 genes required in the anterior pituitary ...

Genetics.Body size of animals is a trait that has received a lot of interest and emphasis during domestication and breeding. The wide variation in size of domesticated animals is reflected in their genomes. An extreme size variation is dwarfism, a condition of unusually reduced growth caused by ...
