Description

Summary

This is a long-term, multi-center, observational study in children 2.5 to <17 years with achondroplasia (ACH). The objective is to evaluate growth, ACH-related medical complications, assessments of health-related quality of life, body pain, functional abilities, cognitive functions, and treatments of study participants. No study medication will be administered.
