Question
My girlfriend’s mother has dwarfism, but she herself is of normal height. What are the chances of our child having dwarfism in the future?
Answer
Dwarfism is genetic, but it depends on the genes of the spouse. Not all cases are hereditary. For children with pediatric bone tumors, in addition to active treatment, daily care is also very important, including a balanced diet, especially eating more vegetables and fruits and foods rich in calcium, to reduce the chance of occurrence.
