What is the smallest rat?
There are no breeds in rats. All rats are the same type of rat. There are however, a number of variations which include different fur colour, fur type, ear type, tail type, and dwarfism. A rats with dwarfism are the smallest possible rat. They are quite rare though, so you will need to find a good breeder.
How did they find so many small people for 'The Lord of the Rings'?
Watching the 'Behind the scenes' portion of the DVDs you get to see the people who played the body doubles for the hobbits. Acting has always been an option for those with short stature. Their type of Dwarfism is called Proportionate Dwarfism; they are shorter without the inconsistent bone growth seen in other types of Dwarfism. I did not see statistics on the number of people with Dwarfism, of any type, but there has to be a large group because there are quite a few humans inhabiting the planet.
Is there a test a person can take to see if they are a carrier for dwarfism?
There are a couple of different types of dwarfism.A common type being Achondroplasia which is based on the FGR3 gene.However, it is autosomal dominant. So that anybody that is a "carrier" of this gene would also express the gene and have dwarfism. You can not carry a recessive version of the gene.If you have a parent with dwarfism, I would encourage you and your short statured parent to have a genetic consult. By testing the parent or family member with dwarfism, they would have a better idea of which genes you might or might not be carrying.A large number of the cases of Dwarfism are also due to random mutations with no family history. Genes that can be passed on, but not in either parent.
What are traits of Dwarfism?
At times Dwarfism can be hard to determine in new born children since they don't really differ from normal children. Some traits that are seen in Dwarfs are; having a larger head than kids their age and compared to their body. Although there is more than one form of Dwarfism, in one dwarfs tend to have certain facial complexion that are similar in all dwarfs of that type. Once they begin to grow, at times their legs tend to curve more than normal children, resulting in back problems in the future. Some Dwarfs suffer from slower learning and developmental issue. Besides the fact that they tend to grow no more than 4 ft, for the most part they live normal lives.
What hormone causes cretinism?
Cretinism is a type of dwarfism in which the individual retains childlike proportions and is mentally retarded. The hormone that causes this is Thyroxine - AKA- T4.
Why is Matt Roloff's speech slurred?
I think that it may have something to do with the type of dwarfism that he has. His muscles are weak through out the body. This could affect the muscles needed for speech.
