Abstract
Most individuals who deal with chondrodysplasias would agree that this term refers collectively to a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders of skeletal development and growth. But they might not agree on what constitutes a specific chondrodysplasia. Indeed, the way in which a specific chondrodysplasia is defined has evolved substantially over the past several decades. David Rimoin, to whom this special issue is dedicated, has played a vital role in this evolution.
