The exact causes of primordial dwarfism are not known. It is not due to any nutritional deficiency, and not even due to any deficiency of growth hormone. However, there are clear indications that this kind of dwarfism is due to genetic factors. When the embryo is formed by receiving one responsible gene for primordial dwarfism from each parent, then the child gets this condition. The parent themselves might not show this condition, but they might have the gene in a recessive manner. If during the reproduction, this recessive genes combine with each other, then a primordial dwarf will be produced. There are clear indications of this genetic trait. That is because, though this is a very rare condition, there are families that have more than one children with it. Such sibling dwarfism indicates autosomal recessive inheritance. However, why some people have the genes in the first place is not yet known. What are the Symptoms of Primordial Dwarfism? The symptoms make their appearance felt a
