Abstract
The spondylometaphyseal dysplasias are a very heterogeneous group of disorders. Only one has been clearly defined, namely, the spondylometaphyseal dysplasia — Kozlowski type, known also as the “common type”. This disorder is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In this report we describe an Arabic-Moslem kindred with spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, not of the common type, with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, indicating further heterogeneity.
