Short stature and Turner’s syndrome is caused due to growth hormone deficiency in babies. Short stature is a term applied to a child whose height is 2 standard deviations (SD) or more below the mean for children of that sex and chronologic age. It is a type of deficiency in children that hinders the height of the babies.

Turner syndrome is also a growth deficit condition that affects only females. It occurs when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing in females. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop, and heart defects. Learn about it through various case studies
