Abstract excerpt
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), also known as metaphyseal chondrodysplasia McKusick type (OMIM no. 250250), is an autosomal recessive, multi-systemic disease characterized by disproportionate short stature, fine and sparse hair, deficient cellular immunity and a predisposition to malignancy. It is caused by mutations in RMRP, the RNA component of the ribonucleoprotein complex RNase MRP, and, thus, CHH represents...
