Answer:

A disorder that is a result of shortage of proteins in children is Kwashiorkor

Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition. It's most common in some developing regions where babies and children do not get enough protein or other essential nutrients in their diet. The main sign of kwashiorkor is too much fluid in the body's tissues, which causes swelling under the skin (oedema). (Source: Kwashiorkor - NHS)
