Hypothyroidism can lead to growth failure and short stature if not treated early. Turner syndrome is a genetic condition affecting females, leading to short stature among other features. Chronic renal failure can cause disturbances in growth hormone and its mediators, leading to poor growth. Cushing syndrome involves high levels of cortisol which can impair growth. Diabetes mellitus, while it can have many complications, is not directly associated with short stature as a primary symptom.
