There are many types of dwarfism. If D is the autosomal dominant gene for acondroplasia a Dd heterozyote will be an acondroplastic dwarf. The homozygous DD individual dies shortly after birth due to considerable skeletal anomalies.

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.
