New findings from a trial conducted at Children's Hospital Colorado (Children's Colorado) and University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz School of Medicine demonstrate significantly increased growth rates in children with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. These results highlight Children's Colorado's leadership in pediatric orthopedic research and commitment to advancing therapies for rare skeletal conditions. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
