How do you inherit pituitary dwarfism?
Pituitary Dwarfism is known to run in families, but there is no genetic link that has yet been associated with its condition. Dwarfism, itself, is usually caused by a lack of growth hormone in early childhood (after the ages of 3 or 4) and it is usually attributed to a malfunction of the pituitary gland.
