متن کاملIncreased mortality in cartilage-hair hypoplasia.
BACKGROUND Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is an autosomal recessive chondrodysplasia with severe growth failure and impaired immunity. Impaired immunity may result in increased mortality. AIMS To follow a cohort of 120 CHH patients for mortality from 1971 to 1995. METHODS The overall and cause specific disease mortality rates in patients with CHH, and the disease mortality rate in 194 pare...
متن کاملCartilage hair hypoplasia: characteristics and orthopaedic manifestations
PURPOSE Cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a rare metaphyseal chondrodysplasia characterized by short stature and short limbs, found primarily in Amish and Finnish populations. Cartilage hair hypoplasia is caused by mutations in the RMRP gene located on chromosome 9p13.3. The disorder has several characteristic orthopaedic manifestations, including joint laxity, limited elbow extension, ankle v...
