Nonacquired isolated growth hormone deficiency – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/936501166

Nonacquired isolated growth hormone deficiency is a non-acquired isolated condition, caused by problems arising in the pituitary gland, in which the body does not produce enough growth hormone (GH). People with isolated growth hormone deficiency commonly experience a failure to grow at the expected rate and have unusually short stature. This condition is usually apparent by early childhood.
