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 type of genetic test provides information about an asymptomatic persons risk for having a child with a specific autosomal recessive disorder in the future?
Carrier screening is the type of genetic test that provides information about an asymptomatic person's risk of having a child with a specific autosomal recessive disorder. This test identifies whether an individual carries a mutated gene associated with the disorder, which is essential for assessing the risk of passing the condition to offspring. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will inherit the disorder.
