Dwarfism caused by skeletal dysplasias results in what is known as disproportionate short stature - meaning the limbs are short in comparison with the rest of the body.
People with short-trunk dysplasia have a shortened trunk with longer limbs, whereas those with short-limb dysplasia have an average-sized trunk but small arms and legs. Yes they are around us today.
Most of them prefer to be called little people. And is it any wonder. Considering that in mythology they are miners that live underground They are metal workers and use magic in their weapons. They are not exactly a very comely people miners most pictures are rather homely. These dwarfs have never existed and so are not with us today.

Yes, dwarfs do exist, if you are talking adults not more than some 3 inches tall, yes and I've seen many of them around where a I live. Its a hormonal dysfunction, that has gave them a stature like that. They either end up being a giant (gigantism) or a dwarf (dwarfism).

Yes dwarfs really do exist. It is called dwarfism. Now if you are talking about fairytale dwarfs, then my friend, I must disappoint you and tell you no, there are not. Sorry! LOL
