Achondroplasia

There are multiple ways to help this community through financial contribution. Growing Stronger helps to fund research on achondroplasia and other types of dwarfism. You can also donate to Skeletal Dysplasia Research at UCLA. People may also choose to donate to support groups, like:

• Little People of America
• Little People of Ireland
• Achondroplasia UK
• Little People of Ontario
• Little People of New Zealand
• Human Growth Foundation
• Child Growth Foundation
• MAGIC Foundation

The general goal of most of these support groups is to provide support, resources, and raise awareness.

There is clinical research being conducted on achondroplasia. The website ClinicalTrials.gov can provide up-to-date information on research being conducted on achondroplasia. Also, there is an International Skeletal Dysplasia Registry (ISDR) at UCLA. People with achondroplasia can choose to participate in this registry, and the ISDR's website also lists many recent research publications on skeletal dysplasia. The Little People of America website also provides information about research being conducted on achondroplasia.
