Pedigree and clinical manifestations. A, Pedigree of a consanguineous Pakistani family segregating autosomal dominant form of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia Schmid type. Double lines are indicative of consanguineous union. Clear symbols represent unaffected individuals while filled symbols represent affected individuals. The diagonal line through a symbol is indicative of a deceased family member. B, affected individual IV-13, V-17, IV-1, V-10, V-13, V-12, IV-6 from enrolled family showing disproportionate short stature with bowed legs.

A, Radiographic features from lower limbs of a metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, Schmid type (MCDS) patient (IV-13 shown in 1B). B, Radiographic features from lower limbs of a normal subject (V-13 shown in 1B). MCDS patient had bowed lower legs, coxa valga, metaphyseal widening and sclerosis while these changes were not observed in control subject.
