title: Familial synovial chondromatosis combined with dwarfism.
abstract: In a family with synovial chondromatosis affecting at least three, presumably five members, the articular disorder was combined with dwarfism. The persons with joint disorders were below the third percentile in body height, but family members with normal articular function had normal height. We believe this to be the first description of a combination of synovial chondromatosis with genetically caused dwarfism.
