Abstract excerpt
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), or metaphyseal dysplasia, McKusick type, is an autosomal recessive disease with diverse clinical manifestations. CHH is caused by mutations in RMRP (ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA processing), the gene encoding the RNA component of the ribonucleoprotein complex RNase MRP. A common founder mutation, 70A>G has been reported in the Finnish and Amish populations. We screened 11...
