TEXT

Beardwell (1969) described a family of Greek Cypriot extraction in which at
least 8 persons in 4 sibships in 2 generations were known to have a combination
of ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis and tylosis . The tylosis was a punctate
hyperkeratosis of the soles and palms. In addition, 6 persons had tylosis
alone; thus, these may have been 2 independent genetic traits in this kindred.
(This condition is sometimes called Forestier disease, although Forestier
described senile ankylosing hyperostosis Forestier and Rotes-Querol, 1950) and,
before Beardwell's paper, familial occurrence had never been noted.) The family
contained instances of male-to-male transmission. No member had the spinal
disease without tylosis. No further families were known to Beardwell (1978).
Involvement of the appendicular skeleton was recognized by Resnick et al.
(1975), who proposed the designation diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
(DISH). The prevalence of DISH was studied in various population groups by
Utsinger (1985). Although DISH was thought to be less common in American blacks
as compared to Caucasians, Cassim et al. (1990) found it rather frequent among
hospitalized blacks in Africa.
