How does a person inherit dwarfism disorder? Is it dominant or recessive? Is it genetic or chromosomal?

A person can inherit dwarfism by an autosomal dominant trait. Autosomal dominant trait means that a person could get dwarfism if one of their parents had dwarfism. However there is a study that shows about 80% of people with dwarfism got it spontaneously Dwarfism is also a genetic disorder. Being that it is a genetic disorder dwarfism is transferred from parent to child.
