Study Start Date: August 2000
Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Blood samples are obtained from affected individuals and their family members after genetic counseling. Genetic linkage analysis is performed on these blood samples. Unaffected individuals undergo x-rays and technetium bone scans to detect the presence of bone disease. Affected individuals undergo bone densitometry, MRI studies, thallium scans, ophthalmologic examination, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and skin biopsies.

Affected family members identified after radiologic studies receive additional genetic counseling.
