Causes of the Disorder:
Most dwarfism related conditions are genetic disorders, but the causes of some disorders are unknown. Most disorders of dwarfism result from a random genetic mutation in either the father's sperm or the mother's egg; rather than being in one of the parent's complete genetic code. About 80 percent of people with dwarfism are born to parents of average height; a person with dwarfism and with two average-size parents receives one mutated copy of the gene associated with the disorder and one normal copy of the gene. A person with the disorder may pass along either a mutated or normal copy to his or her own children.
Note: People with Dwarfism can have normal sized children as well.
