I also asked a question of the geneticist who is involved with the trial if they think the drug will be used for HCH as well as ACH and as I expected, the answer is yes... YAY!!!
Petite yet fierce - Ramblings of a pathologically information hungry mother about hypochondroplasia, about rearing 3 girls in a foreign country and about all the random thoughts my sleep deprived and over-stimulated brain can come up with.

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI know, I think it has a lot to do with the whole "dwarf identity" thing, which is not something I would want my daughter to subscribe too, but each to their own. I think this trial looks very interesting, we shall find out in about 2 years really if it's going anywhere... Check out the post on the new internal leg lengthening revolution that has already begun, that is a major medical advancement, so much less pain and discomfort, another taboo...
