In two cases, airway symptoms began after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit. Ten (91%) of the 11 patients were discharged receiving home oxygen.

Medical records and previous biopsy reports and specimens, when available, were reviewed. Two affected subjects had skin biopsies performed and three affected adult subjects were tested with Kveim skin-test reagent. Serologic and genomic class I and class II HLA typing was performed on 27 affected and unaffected subjects. All 13 living affected subjects and the one obligate carrier had the following assays performed; antinuclear antibody titer, rheumatoid factor, serum angiotensin converting enzyme level, quantitative immunoglobulins of the IgG, IgM, and IgA classes, and clinical chemistry profiles. Several had complete blood cell counts and erythrocyte sedimentation rates performed. Four affected subjects, one possibly affected subject, and one obligate carrier were newly identified. Flexion contractures of the fingers and toes (camptodactyly) were found, for the first time, to be a phenotype characteristic. Earlier onset and worsening of symptoms in succeeding generations (anticipation) were observed. Sixteen HLA haplotypes were identified. No conclusive evidence for linkage between these haplotypes and phenotype expression could be demonstrated. All 13 affected subjects, however, carried the DR2 (DR beta 1*1501) and/or DR4 (DR beta 1*0401) allele. There was no evidence of hypercalcemia, hypergammaglobulinemia M, rheumatoid factor production, or abnormal blood cell counts. Two affected subjects had low-titer antinuclear antibody screening tests, five had mild to moderately elevated IgG and/or IgA levels, two had raised serum angiotensin converting enzyme levels, and three had mild elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
