Dwarfism is primarily caused by genetic factors, with the most common type being achondroplasia, which results from a mutation in the FGFR3 gene. Other forms of dwarfism can arise from various genetic conditions or hormonal deficiencies, such as growth hormone deficiency. It is not "contracted" in the traditional sense, as it is typically present at birth or develops during early childhood due to these genetic or hormonal influences. Environmental factors generally do not cause dwarfism, although they may affect growth in some cases.
