[quote=Anonymous]I am short, both parents short, all siblings short. However, when I fell off the growth chart Ped referred us to Endo, and testing revealed I was just destined to be short. Fast forward 30 years and my sister, married to a tall husband, had a son whose growth also fell off chart. Went to an Endo and found out he has a heritable genetic mutation of his pituitary gland, likely from my father’s side of the family (father is only 5’ 1”). So, it doesn’t hurt to check. I am just short, like my mom and siblings. But my nephew had an issue that is treatable, so instead of being 5’1” like his grandfather, he might be 5’6”-5’8” like his uncles.[/quote]
