Hypochondrogenesis is a severe genetic disorder causing malformations of bone growth.[1] The condition is characterized by a short body and limbs and abnormal bone formation in the spine and pelvis.

Hypochondrogenesis is a subtype of collagenopathy, types II and XI, and is similar to another skeletal disorder, achondrogenesis type 2, although the spinal changes seen in hypochondrogenesis tend to be somewhat milder.
