CHs

CHS is an acronym that can refer to several distinct organizations, concepts, or diseases across different fields. It is commonly used as an initialism in medicine, computing, and higher education.

Chédiak–Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the LYST gene. It is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, immune deficiency, and a susceptibility to infections. Patients may experience immune dysregulation and an accelerated phase similar to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Management is supportive, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be curative in some cases.

Cylinders–Heads–Sectors (CHS) is a legacy method of addressing data on magnetic disks. It specifies the location of data by three geometry parameters: cylinders, heads, and sectors per track. CHS addressing has largely been superseded by linear addressing methods such as LBA (logical block addressing).

California Historical Society (CHS) is a nonprofit organization in California dedicated to preserving and presenting the state’s history through collections, exhibitions, and programs.

College of Health Sciences (CHS) is a common designation for academic units within universities that offer health-related programs in fields such as nursing, public health, kinesiology, and clinical sciences. The term CHS can also refer to other health-related organizations or facilities, depending on the institution.
