Human growth hormone is genetically engineered and inserted into human tissue to help stimulate growth in people with dwarfism. What are possible concerns that scientists have about the long-term effects of this process?

Scientists could possibly be concerned that the person who the human growth hormone was injected into would develop nerve/muscle/joint pain, an edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness and tingling of the skin, and high cholesterol levels
