World's shortest woman

 Jyoti Kisange Amge is an Indian woman and actress notable for being the world's smallest living woman according to Guinness World Records.

Following Amge's 18th birthday on 16 December 2011, she was officially declared the world's smallest woman by Guinness World Records with a height of 62.8 centimetres (2 ft 0.6 in). Her restricted height is due to a genetic disorder called achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia is a disorder of bone growth that prevents the changing of cartilage (particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs) to bone. It is characterized by dwarfism, limited range of motion at the elbows, large head size (macrocephaly), small fingers, and normal intelligence. Diagnosis is generally based on symptoms, but may be supported by genetic testing if uncertain.

Treatments may include support groups and growth hormone therapy. Efforts to treat or prevent complications such as obesity, hydrocephalus, obstructive sleep apnea, middle ear infections, or spinal stenosis may be required. Life expectancy of those affected is about 10 years less than average.The condition affects about 1 in 27,500 people. Rates are higher in Denmark and Latin America.The shortest known adult with the condition is Jyoti Amge at 62.8 centimetres (2 ft 0.7 in).
