Wikipedia definition
2. DwarfismDwarfism is when an individual is short in stature resulting from a medical condition caused by problems that arise in the pituitary gland in which the growth of the individual is very slowed or delayed. Dwarfism is sometimes defined as an adult height of less than 147 cm (58 inches), although this definition is problematic because short stature in itself is not a disorder. For example, in pygmy populations, a body height of less than 150 cm (59 inches) is normal.
