The major mutation in the <i>RMRP</i> gene causing CHH among the Amish is the same as that found in most Finnish cases

Abstract excerpt

Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), or McKusick type metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, was originally described in the Old Order Amish in the United States and subsequently found to be unusually frequent among Finns. The major mutation causing CHH in Finns is a 70A --> G nucleotide substitution in the RMRP gene, which encodes the untranslated RNA that is a component of mitochondrial RNA-processing endoribonuclease.
