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.
