Definition

Dwarfism is genetic abnormality that makes you have a short stature, usually an adult being less than 4 feet 10 inches, which result from about 200 different distinct medical conditions. This can happen in humans, animals and plants and it is where they are below the ordinary size of the species.

Cause:

Most cases of Dwarfism are unknown however most cases are caused from genetic disorders. This means during pregnancy the cells experience a random genetic mutation in either the father's sperm or the mother's egg. A mutation disease is called Turner Syndrome which is the random deletion or alteration of the X- chromosome (which is the female chromosome).

Characteristics

First off a characteristic is obviously below the ordinary size of humans, and usually under 4 feet 10 inches. Also you could have two normal size parents and you could have dwarfism. Vice versa, you could have two parents with dwarfism and be completely normal. When they are young they are very shy, have very bad tempers, and are always thirsty or hungry. At a young age is when you detect dwarfism.
