Coined/History
Dwarfism was known since times of ancient Egypt as Egyptians had two dwarf gods: Bes, the protector of sexuality/childbirth and Ptah the protector of regeneration.
Hypochondroplasia was probably first described by Ravenna (1913) but not generally recognized until much later, the term being coined by Maroteaux and Lamy (1960).

Definition
Hypochondroplasia (MIM 146000) is is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterized by short extremities, short stature and lumbar lordosis, usually exhibiting a phenotype similar to but milder than achondroplasia. Hypochodroplasia may be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait due to mutations in FGFR3 gene, although most cases occurs as spontaneous mutations in germline.
