Background: Heterozygous pathogenic variants in the ACAN gene underlie disproportionate short stature with characteristically accelerated bone age (BA) maturation and/or osteochondritis dissecans (OD)/early-onset osteoarthritis (OA).Objective: To describe the phenotypic spectrum and assess the response and safety of growth hormone (GH) treatment in children with a heterozygous pathogenic ACAN variant.</...
