New article on growth hormone

The long awaited article has been published. Here is the abstract. I have the full published study if anyone is interested, just e-mail me for details.

Why was this study so awaited?
- First ever study for GH treatment for hypochondroplasia where adult height results have been achieved.
- Comparison between treated and untreated cohort
- A growth curve has been modeled (this is the usual catch for hypo as there are no growth charts).

Are the results different from other publications?
-Not really, no safety issues have been highlighted
- And it states as previous studies that treatment results very greatly by person

Why is it relevant then?
- Modeled growth chart
- Adult height results
-One of the longest studis
