Individuals with dwarfism have a condition that results in shorter stature.

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.
What is the correct term for people with dwarfism?
This is a politically charged question. There are several answers to the question, but each one of them may or may not be considered offensive, and even that is up to the person being referred to. If you can find a person affected with dwarfism, ask them in a serious manner, as if looking for information. If they take you seriously enough to answer you seriously, they'll most likely tell you what doesn't offend them personally. This does not, however, mean that ALL people affected with dwarfism would not be offended by the term. My suggestion is to call them 'people'. That's what they are. Learn to look past their stature, chances are, you'll find someone who has an outlook on life that you've never encountered before.
