Please reword this paragraph:

The mutation I chose was Familial Acromegaly. Familial Acromegaly is caused by an increased amount of growth hormones that are produced during our adulthood and are secreted from our pituitary gland which is located in our brain. Acromegaly is extremely rare to be passed down each generation, when it is, it’s due to a part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), or a condition called familial isolated pituitary adenoma. Acromegaly is distinguished by enlarged features such as your face, hands, and feet. As the face might change shape due to the excess hormones your jaw may protrude or extend out to a certain point, your nose might get longer, and your lips might get fuller or thicken (basically you might have/get Cardi B-like lips). Familial acromegaly can cause puberty to hit much later, and cause genitalia to possibly be deformed due to the increased growth hormones. It could also cause weakness, vision problems, and heart problems that could eventually lead to heart failure.

I decided to puck the familial acromegaly. Familial Acromegaly happen when are large amount of growth hormones are secreted during the stages of Adulthood. This is a non common thing to become hereditary. The Acromegaly happens because of many endocrine neoplasia Type 1 aka MEN1. This can also be called familial isolated pituitary adenoma. You can tell when some has this by there large hands, face, and feet. The persons jaw or chin might extend farther than normal due to the excessive hormones. Your lips may become thick. (You’ll have female rapper lips.) Familial acromegaly can caused a delayed reaction in puberty. The genitals may become de shaped or deformed. This is caused by excess hormones. Other side effects are weakness, trouble with eyesight, health and failure/problems.
