Does roaccutane stunt growth?

I was thinking of going on roaccutane although I’m worried that it will stunt my growth because I've heard that it is a possibility. I only know a couple of people who have been on it and they’re all particularly short. Please don't answer if you’ve no knowledge of the subject. Roaccutane is a very very powerful drug and it does alter your DNA after all, so I don't see why it wouldn't be capale of stunting growth.

Answer:
There are some studies to recommend that accutane can prematurely close growth plates which will stop you from growing taller. You’ve to weigh the benefit of clearing the acne against the possibility, however small, of side effects like this.
