A family in Singapore is appealing to the public to help raise over a million dollars for a growth-stimulating drug for their nine-month-old son born with dwarfism.
Ms Tan listed out “a host of serious medical issues” Jayden would face growing up, such as short stature, disproportionate growth, nerve compression, spinal deformity, back pain, and recurring knee and joint pains. He could also experience sleep apnea, bladder, or bowel dysfunction or hearing loss.Adult males with achondroplasia have an average height of 131cm, while females grow to about 121cm.
Voxzogo was invented specifically to treat achondroplasia and is the only approved treatment that Jayden could take until he’s 18 years old. In doing so, he can possibly grow 20-30cm more than the average. However, the drug is currently not on the list of medications in Singapore approved for subsidies. It also costs around S$40,000 to S$50,000 per month. The doctor’s letter also estimated the drug to cost S$420,000 per year.
