No she is not a dwarf. She has a chomosmal genetic disorder called Turner Syndrome. It affects about 1 in 2500 girls. It is the total or partial loss of an X chromosome in the 23rd set (sex set) of chromosomes. It affects growth as well as numerous other aspects of the girls body. You can get more info on Turners at www.tssus.org

Yes.

While in her teens, she was then diagnosed with hypo-pituitary dwarfism (a condition in which the pituitary gland does not release enough growth hormone).
