MedlinePlus: A dwarf is a person of short stature - under 4' 10" as an adult. more than 200 different
conditions can cause dwarfism. a single type, called achondroplasia, causes about 70
percent of all dwarfism. achondroplasia is a genetic condition that affects about 1 in
15,000 to 1 in 40,000 people. it makes your arms and legs short in comparison to your head and trunk.
other genetic conditions, kidney disease and problems with metabolism or hormones can also
cause short stature.
dwarfism itself is not a disease. however, there is a greater risk of some health
problems. with proper medical care, most people with dwarfism have active lives and live as
long as other people.23
MalaCards: Dwarfism is related to laron dwarfism and achondroplasia. An important gene associated with Dwarfism is PCNT (pericentrin), and among its related pathways are Class B/2 (Secretin family receptors) and Association of licensing factors with the pre-replicative complex. The compounds procollagen and pegvisomant have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include kidney, thyroid and pituitary, and related mouse phenotypes are embryogenesis and respiratory system.
