Description : 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 (see 144200). 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;
