We are parents of a newborn child who has been diagnosed with achondroplasia, and our pediatrician doesn know anything about it. What should we do?
Make sure the pediatrician gets a copy of the Health Supervision for Children with Achondroplasia, an article by the Committee on Genetics of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which was originally published in 1995 and was updated in 2005. It is an excellent overview to the issues involved in treating a child with achondroplasia.
