How do you inherit pituitary dwarfism?

Answer 1

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. In most cases this is caused by a benign tumor in the same location as the pituitary gland, which is the most protected gland in the body because it is located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone

Answer 2

Pituitary dwarfism is a genetic condition caused by mutations in genes that are involved in the production or function of growth hormone in the pituitary gland. It can be inherited in an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant pattern, depending on the specific genetic mutation involved. Factors such as family history and genetic testing can help determine the inheritance pattern in individual cases.
