  People with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata often develop joint deformities (contractures) that make the joints stiff and painful. Distinctive facial features are also seen with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. [medlineplus.gov]

  They might suffer stiff joints and dry skin. Other visual clues to RCDP are a small, up-turned nose, low-set ears and an unusually small head circumference. [geneticdisordersuk.org]
