Hypochondroplasia is a genetic disorder of disproportionate short stature. Linkage analysis provisionally placed hypochondroplasia in the chromosome 4p 16.3 region, a location to which the FGFR3 gene has been mapped. The genotyping of a three-generation family showed no recombinants between the hypochondroplasia phenotype and three highly polymorphic markers flanking the FGFR3 gene. Mutation analysis was...
