Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OBJECTIVES: I. Identify and characterize the gene causing diaphyseal medullary stenosis with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the bone.

II. Determine the clinical manifestations of this disease in these patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
