Answers:
Pituitary dwarfism - it is a lack of growth hormones. A person with a growth hormone deficiency is often small with an immature face and chubby body build.
The most famous siblings with this type of dwarfism were Harry and Daisy Earles who appeared in the 1932 movie "Freaks". They had another sister, named Tiny, and together were known as The Doll Family. The link below has a picture of all 4.
