A member asked:

If your16 years old and are 5ft 2inch could it mean you have a growth hormone disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: You need to see your physician for a full evaluation. Your height is determined by genetics as well as where you are in pubertal development. A full exam and evaluation of your growth chart will be very helpful.
