How is Dwarfism diagnosed?

Dwarfism can be diagnosed mainly by the visible nature of the person's condition. Dwarfism is usually diagnosed in childhood. There is, however, a physical examination that can be given to a person believed to have dwarfism.There can be genetic testing and x-ray's taken of some one's bones to see if they have even a slight case of dwarfism. Many people are referred to a genetic counselor after they are tested or diagnosed.
