Abstract excerpt

Mseleni joint disease (MJD) is an unusual form of progressive and widespread degenerative osteoarthropathy that has been identified in several hundred people in the remote Mseleni region of northern Zululand. Affected individuals experience articular discomfort in childhood and may be seriously handicapped as adults, often requiring prosthetic hip joint replacement. Although the condition clusters in families,...
