Medical term . Rare inherited disease (only 50 diagnoses) due to the mutation of a gene on chromosome 1 that causes deficiency of the enzyme katepsin K with fragility in the bones and short stature. It seems that it was the illness of the French painter Tuoluse-Lautrec, that is why it bears his name.
