Short stature
Restricted growth, sometimes known as dwarfism, is a condition characterised by short stature.
People with restricted growth (dwarfism) often have no symptoms other than short stature, although some people have associated health problems.
Restricted growth (dwarfism) may be caused by many different medical conditions, and is more noticeable in some conditions than others.
A diagnosis of restricted growth (dwarfism) is based on symptoms, height measurements, family history and tests.
Some people with restricted growth may be able to have treatment to help them grow more than they otherwise would, although not everyone will need treatment.
