Penetrance Because of evidence that the height range in hypochondroplasia may overlap that of the unaffected population, individuals with hypochondroplasia may not be recognized as having a skeletal dysplasia unless an astute physician recognizes their disproportionate short stature. to date, however, all reported individuals with an fgfr3 pathogenic variant have had demonstrable radiographic changes compatible with hypochondroplasia or one of the other phenotypes known to be associated with pathogenic variants in this gene (see genetically related disorders).

MedlinePlus Genetics: 42 Hypochondroplasia is a form of short-limbed dwarfism. This condition affects the conversion of cartilage into bone (a process called ossification), particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs. Hypochondroplasia is similar to another skeletal disorder called achondroplasia, but the features tend to be milder.All people with hypochondroplasia have short stature. The adult height for men with this condition ranges from 138 centimeters to 165 centimeters (4 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 5 inches). The height range for adult women is 128 centimeters to 151 centimeters (4 feet, 2 inches to 4 feet, 11 inches).People with hypochondroplasia have short arms and legs and broad, short hands and feet. Other characteristic features include a large head, limited range of motion at the elbows, a sway of the lower back (lordosis), and bowed legs. These signs are generally less pronounced than those seen with achondroplasia and may not be noticeable until early or middle childhood. Some studies have reported that a small percentage of people with hypochondroplasia have mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems, but other studies have produced conflicting results. MalaCards based summary: Hypochondroplasia, also known as hch, is related to achondrogenesis, type ii and achondroplasia. An important gene associated with Hypochondroplasia is FGFR3 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3), and among its related pathways/superpathways are ERK Signaling and Disease. The drugs Hormones and Hormone Antagonists have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone, temporal lobe and occipital lobe, and related phenotypes are skeletal dysplasia and abnormal form of the vertebral bodies GARD: 19 Hypochondroplasia is a form of skeletal disease characterized by very short stature. Hypochondroplasia is similar to achondroplasia, but the features tend to be milder. People with Hypochondroplasia usually have very short stature, large head, accentuated lordosis, short arms and legs, and broad, short hands and feet. Other features include a limited range of motion in the elbows, lordosis, and bowed legs. Uncommon symptoms may include learning difficulties and convulsions. Hypochondroplasia is caused by genetic changes in the FGFR3 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. OMIM®: 57 Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by short-limbed dwarfism, lumbar lordosis, short and broad bones, and caudad narrowing of the interpediculate distance of the lumbar spine. It shows some resemblance to achondroplasia, but is much milder and can be distinguished on clinical and radiographic grounds (Walker et al., 1971). (146000) (Updated 08-Dec-2022) Disease Ontology: 11 An osteochondrodysplasia that has material basis in mutation in the FGFR3 gene which affects ossification of cartilage and results in short limb dwarfism. Orphanet: 58 A primary bone dysplasia with micromelia characterized by disproportionate short stature, mild lumbar lordosis and limited extension of the elbow joints. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: 73 Autosomal dominant disease and is characterized by disproportionate short stature. It resembles achondroplasia, but with a less severe phenotype.
