It is a common feature of several kinds of hereditary disorders which affect connective tissue, such as Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria.The condition is mentioned in the Rizzoli & Isles episode Boston Strangler Redux; Maura Isles is on a date with a man whom she diagnoses as having Marfan Syndrome, which she says "explains the dolichostenomelia."
