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.

Being that it is a genetic disorder dwarfism is transferred from parent to child.
