People with shorter limbs and some other bodily differences may be referred to as "dwarfs" (dwarves is correct but seldom used). Most people displaying dwarfism suffer from a genetic condition called achondroplasia (an autosomal-dominant disorder). In humans, the application of the term "dwarf" is to anyone with an adult height under 58 inches (147 cm).
