An autosomal dominant skeletal disorder (OMIM:132400) characterised by short stature and early-onset osteoarthrosis; pain in hips, knees or ankles in later childhood, due to developmental hip defects; height is slightly decreased; arm, leg, finger or toe lengths may be markedly decreased; movement may be restricted.
