Abstract
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia is a chondrodysplasia with a high incidence of Hirschsprung disease. This study suggests that Hirschsprung disease is associated especially with severe cartilage-hair hypoplasia: the patients with Hirschsprung disease had severe growth failure and a higher incidence of alopecia, infections, malignancies, and childhood anemia than the patients with cartilage-hair hypoplasia who did not have Hirschsprung disease.
