Overview
Osteochondrodysplatic dwarfism -- deafness -- retinitis pigmentosa is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by dwarfism and musculoskeletal problems along with deafness and eye problems.
Pathophysiology
The disease seems to have a dominant autosomal pattern of inheritance with a variable degree of penetrance.[1]
There is no associated metabolic abnormality
