How can dwarfism be prevented?
It is not possible to prevent dwarfism because most types are caused by genetic conditions. The most common form is called achondroplasia in which a parent passes on a mutated copy of the gene that causes this disorder to an offspring.
Can drawfs or midgets reproduce?
Yes, individuals with dwarfism can reproduce just like individuals without dwarfism. The likelihood of passing on the condition to their offspring can vary depending on the specific genetic cause of the dwarfism. It is possible for individuals with dwarfism to have children who do not have the condition.

Is dwarfism located on a particular chromosome?
Many inherited disorders in humans are controlled by a single gene. Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism. About one out of 25,000 people has achondroplasia. The homozygous dominant genotype causes death of the embryo, and therefore only heterozygotes, individuals with a single copy of the defective allele, have this disorder. This also mean that a person with achondroplasia has a 50% chance of passing the condition on to any children. Achondroplasia is a recessive allele.

Dwarfism is a genetic disorder caused by a lack of a series of chemicals which come together to form human growth hormone. It can't be prevented, but can be lessened by HGH therapy. I'm not sure about this one, but it may also be lessened to some extent by gene therapy.
