Research Notes on Dwarfism
Dwarfism is a genetic condition that results in an adult height that ranges from 2'8 to 4'8. There are several genetic conditions such as achondroplasia, chondrodystrophy and osteochondrodystrophy that can cause dwarfism. People with dwarfism disfavor and find it offensive to be called a “midget,” terms such as dwarf, little person, LP and person of short stature are more accepted.
