The Head Circumference Height Index (HCH‐I) to Quantify Relative Macrocephaly and Aid Identification of Hypochondroplasia in Children

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variants in the FGFR3 gene. We hypothesized that the relative disproportion between head circumference and height in HCH might be diagnostically informative and generated a simple index of head‐stature disproportion to help pediatricians diagnose HCH.

A Confirmatory Case of Severe Spondylocostal Dysostosis Caused by Biallelic Loss‐of‐Function of DMRT2

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal development of the axial skeleton, resulting in malformations of the vertebrae and ribs that often impair lung development and lead to significant respiratory morbidity.
