Summary

Many of the syndromes of ‘orthopaedic interest’ rely on the clinical skills of pattern recognition and some knowledge of genetics. Increasingly, in any given patient, the genotype can be mapped and the genetic mishap identified. However, whilst this does not always improve our understanding of the patient’s phenotype, it can help our appreciation of which other systems are affected and perhaps in which way.
