Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by predominant involvement of articular cartilage with progressive joint stiffness. Here we report genetic characterization of a consanguineous family segregating an uncharacterized from of skeletal dysplasia. Whole-exome sequencing of four affected siblings and their parents identified a loss-of-function homozygous mutation in the <i>WISP3</i> gene, leading to diagnosis of PPD in the affected individuals.
