《新编基础实用医学英语》：
Excess growth hormone in childhood may lead to gigantism.Hypothyroidism can slow growth because the thyroid gland isn't producing enough thyroid hormone to support normal growth.A major symptom of hypothyroidism is feeling tired or sluggish.A blood test measuring thyroid levels can show if someone has this disorder， which can develop at any time in life and is common in teen girls and women of childbearing age.
Some diseases aren't caused by the hormones， but they can impact the body's ability to produce the hormones needed to grow and develop.For example， Turner syndrome is a genetic condition（due to a problem with a person's genes）that occurs in girls.It is caused by a missing or abnormal X chromosome
Girls with Turner syndrome tend to be short and don't usually undergo normal.. development because their ovaries（organs that produce eggs and female hormones）don't mature and function normally.
Another condition that can lead to significantly short stature is dwarfism.Dwarfism results from abnormal growth of the bones or cartilage in the body.In many forms of dwarfism the person has abnormal body proportions， such as noticeably short limbs.Most cases of dwarfism are genetic.
Growth Hormone Deficiency
One growth disorder that is closely related to the hormones is growth hormone deficiency （GH deficiency）.This condition involves the pituitary gland， the small gland located at the base of the brain that produces growth hormone and other hormones.If the pituitary gland doesn't produce enough hormones for normal growth， growth slows down or stops.
GH deficiency can occur at any age， and the most common sign in kids and teens is a slowing of growth to less than 2 inches （5 centimeters） a year.Kids with this disorder usually have normal body proportions.In other words， their bodies look normal， just smaller.Growth hormone deficiency does not affect intelligence or brain function.
The cause of growth hormone deficiency can be an underdeveloped， damaged， or malfunctioning pituitary gland or hypothalamus， which can happen before or during birth or can be caused later by an accident or trauma or certain diseases.Tumors near the pituitary gland， like craniopharyngioma， can also damage the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and affect growth.In most cases， though， the cause of growth hormone deficiency is simply unexplained.
Growth hormone deficiency usually affects only one person in a family and isn't genetically passed on from parents to children.
