Solution

Growth Hormone:
Low GH secretion leads to growth hormone deficiency (GHD), also known as dwarfism or pituitary dwarfism.
This is a condition caused by insufficient levels of growth hormone in the body.
Children with GHD have unusually short stature with normal body proportions.
It can be present at birth (congenital) or develop later (acquired).
