| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
A dwarf is a person of short stature - under 4' 10" as an adult. More than 200 different conditions can cause dwarfism. A single type, called achondroplasia, causes about 70 percent of all dwarfism. Achondroplasia is a genetic condition that affects about 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 40,000 people. It makes your arms and legs short in comparison to your head and trunk. Other genetic conditions, kidney disease and problems with metabolism or hormones can also cause short stature. Dwarfism itself is not a disease. However, there is a greater risk of some health problems. With proper medical care, most people with dwarfism have active lives and live as long as other people. |
| Definition (MSHCZE) | Trpaslictví, malý vzrůst. K poruchám růstu vedou četné poruchy, např. nedostatek růstového hormonu GH tvořeného v předním laloku hypofýzy, defekt receptorů pro GH (Laronův n.), porušená tvorba IGF-I (dř. somatomedin C), který zprostředkovává některé účinky GH, hypotyreóza, předčasná puberta s uzavřením růstových chrupavek, onemocnění pohybového aparátu vč. vrozených (chondrodystrofie), nižší vzrůst je u Turnerova syndromu a mnoha dalších vzácných syndromů. Poruchy růstu mohou mít proporční nebo disproporční ráz. V některých případech lze podávat rekombinantní lidský růstový hormon. Opak gigantismus. (cit.
