Hereditary chondrocalcinosis was reported in three Tunisian families. The clinical manifestations appeared early in life and extensive radiologic involvement was apparent. The mode of inheritance seemed to be autosomal with incomplete penetrance. In one family HLA typing revealed that all affected subjects had the haplotype A1 B12 DR3.
