Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a common nonlethal skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene, and HCH has similar clinical manifestations with achondroplasia (ACH), which can be screened during the fetal period by prenatal ultrasound testing and diagnosed by genetic testing. The gene discussed is FGFR3; the disease is hypochondroplasia.
