[Articular contracture with dwarfism and normal intelligence: a new autosomal dominant familial syndrome]

A father and his daughter has the same features: short stature, the distal phalanges, the wrists, the elbows, the feet and the knees were flexed. All other joints had abnormal range of motion. Kypho-scoliosis was present in the father only. Father's family was normal. Upon X-rays examination no abnormalities could be seen. This syndrome is inherited as autosomal dominant.
