Abstract

Four cases of the rare disorder, inherited degenerative chondropathy have been previously reported (Kurien et al., 1989). A five-year follow-up of these patients and two additional cases are presented in this report. The progress of this disease appears to be arrested after regulardapsone therapy and there was no other organ involvement noted during the follow-up period.
