We describe a family with two marriages of first cousins and a total of five children with opsismodysplasia. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, and immunhistochemical findings. Helpful to the diagnosis was the testing with type I collagen antibodies, showing abnormally high levels in the hypertrophic area of growth cartilage. This observation supports the hypothesis of autosomal recessive transmission of opsismodysplasia.
Multinuclear three-dimensional solid-state MRI of bone, tooth, and synthetic calcium phosphates is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo with a projection reconstruction technique based on acquisition of free induction decays in the presence of fixed amplitude magnetic field gradients. Phosphorus-31 solid-state MRI provides direct images of the calcium phosphate constituents of bone substance and is a quantitative measurement of the true volumetric bone mineral density of the bone. Proton solid-state MRI shows the density of bone matrix including its organic constituents, which consist principally of collagen. These solid-state MRI methods promise to yield a biological picture of bone richer in information concerning the bone composition and short range-crystalline order than the fluid-state images provided by conventional proton MRI or the density images produced by radiologic imaging techniques. Three-dimensional solid-state projection reconstruction MRI should be readily adaptable to both human clinical use and nonmedical applications for a variety of solids in materials science.
