Dwarfism is short stature that results from a genetic or medical condition. Dwarfism is generally defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or less. The average adult height among people with dwarfism is 4 feet (122 cm). Many different medical conditions cause dwarfism. Disproportionate dwarfism.
Hypotonia, or low muscle tone, is common in dwarfs, but intelligence and lifespan are usually normal.
