Correlation studies confirm clinical homogeneity of the hand profile in diastrophic dysplasia. Discriminant analysis of individuals with diastrophic dysplasia compared with a sample of normal individuals produced a function of 3 MCPP variables plus age that appears to be a useful diagnostic tool.en-USPublisher PolicyMCPPDiscriminant analysisCorrelation studiesAutosomal recessive inheritanceArticle
