The chances of a person passing on the dwarf gene are different. It all depends on your genetics. If a person has the dwarfism gene and they marry a person that does not have the disorder there is a 50% chance that their offsrping will have the disorder as well. There are some other cases that may case the disorder to be passed on. It could also be passed on even if the parents dont have it, someone in their family could have it and it skipped their generation. There is also a 25% chance in some cases.
