Gigantism is abnormally large growth due to an excess of growth hormone (GH) during childhood, before the bone growth plates have closed (epiphyseal fusion). It causes excessive growth in height, muscles, and organs, making the child extremely large for age.
Gigantism is generally not inherited. There are, however, a number of rare endocrine conditions associated with gigantism such as McCune Albright syndrome and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. A genetic mutation in the menin gene can be identified in affected families who have multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.hat causes gigantism? Gigantism is almost always caused by a benign adenoma in the pituitary gland. An adenoma is a non-cancerous tumour and in the case of gigantism causes secretion of too much growth hormone. Pituitary tumours can be small in size (micro-adenoma) or large (macro-adenoma).
