It sounds like underproduction of the Pituitary Gland.
Disorders involving the pituitary gland include:
Acromegaly
Growth hormone deficiency
Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
Diabetes insipidus
Sheehan syndrome
Pituitary adenoma
Hypopituitarism

looks like a dwarf, talks like a dwarf, tastes like a dwarf, I'm going to say that this hilarious genetic condition is called dwarfism.
