Prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and early-phase DISH across the lifespan of an American population.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

DISH is a common musculoskeletal disorder; however, the imaging features and disease continuum from early to advanced stages is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of DISH and early-phase DISH in an American population and to assess the extent and pattern of ectopic mineralization across the thoracic spine.

Methods

Data were retrieved in collaboration with the Rochester Epidemiology Project. We conducted a retrospective image evaluation of a sample of individuals over 19 years of age with CT of the thoracic spine from a Northern US catchment area. Stratified random sampling by age and sex was used to populate the study. We examined the prevalence and extent of ectopic mineralization along the thoracic spine using previously established criteria.

Results

A total of 1536 unique images (766 female and 770 male individuals) including 16 710 motion segments were evaluated for imaging features of the continuum of DISH. Collectively, 40.5% of all motion segments evaluated displayed evidence of ectopic mineralization in the thoracic spine. The prevalence of early-phase DISH was 13.2% (10.4% of female and 15.8% of male individuals). The prevalence of established DISH was 14.2% (7.4% of female and 20.9% of male individuals). Remarkable heterogeneity was detected in individuals within each disease classification, based on the extent of the thoracic spine affected and degree of mineralization.

Conclusions

The continuum of imaging features associated with DISH is detected in more than one in four adults and both sexes in an American population.

Project description:Background Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by the formation of new bone along the anterolateral spinal column at four adjacent vertebral bodies. Purpose To propose and validate criteria for the early phase of DISH by using CT data from two large-scale retrospective cohorts, each with 5-year follow-up. Materials and Methods For this retrospective study, CT data at baseline and follow-up in 1367 patients (cohort I) from 2004 to 2011 were evaluated by two observers to define no DISH, early-stage DISH, and definite DISH on the basis of interval development of consecutive complete or incomplete bone bridges. An independent group of 2267 participants from the COPDGene cohort from 2008 to 2016 was used to validate the early DISH criteria (cohort II). The sensitivity and specificity of early DISH criteria were based on findings in the last CT study as the reference standard by using a nested case-control design. κ Values were calculated between seven readers and with a 3-month interval for one reader. Results Cohort I consisted of 100% men, with a mean age of 60.0 years ± 5.6 (standard deviation) and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.0 years ± 1.1. Cohort II consisted of 51% men, with a mean age of 59.9 years ± 8.6 and a mean time between baseline and follow-up CT of 5.4 years ± 0.5. In the derivation cohort, 55 patients comprised the early DISH group. Early DISH was defined as the presence of a spinal segment with a complete bone bridge with an adjacent segment of at least a near-complete bone bridge and another adjacent segment with at least the presence of newly formed bone or when three or more adjacent segments were recorded as showing a near-complete bone bridge. In the validation cohort, sensitivity for early DISH (vs no DISH) was 96% (99 of 103 participants; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 90%, 99%). The corresponding specificity was 83% (1695 of 2034 participants; 95% CI: 82%, 85%). The Fleiss κ for interrater reliability was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.77, 0.78), and the κ for intrarater reliability was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.96). Conclusion Early diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) criteria had high sensitivity and specificity for predicting the development of DISH. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Project description:Homozygous ENPP1 mutations are associated with autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2), severe ossification of the spinal ligaments, and generalized arterial calcification of infancy type 1. There are a limited number of reports on phenotypes associated with heterozygous ENPP1 mutations. Here, we report a series of three probands and their families with heterozygous and compound heterozygous ENPP1 mutations. The first case (case 1) was a 47-year-old male, diagnosed with early-onset osteoporosis and low-normal serum phosphate levels, which invoked suspicion for hypophosphatemic rickets. The second and third cases were 77- and 54-year-old females who both presented with severe spinal ligament ossification and the presumptive diagnosis of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Upon workup, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) was noted to be relatively high in case 2 and serum phosphorous was low-normal in case 3, and the diagnoses of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and ARHR2 were considered. Genetic testing for genes related to congenital hypophosphatemic rickets was therefore performed, revealing heterozygous ENPP1 variants in cases 1 and 2 (case 1, c.536A>G, p.Asn179Ser; case 2, c.1352A>G, p.Tyr451Cys) and compound heterozygous ENPP1 variants in case 3 constituting the same variants present in cases 1 and 2 (c.536A>G, p.Asn179Ser and c.1352A>G, p.Tyr451Cys). Several in silico tools predicted the two variants to be pathogeneic, a finding confirmed by in vitro biochemical analysis demonstrating that the p.Asn179Ser and p.Tyr451Cys ENPP1 variants possessed a catalytic velocity of 45% and 30% compared with that of wild-type ENPP1, respectively. Both variants were therefore categorized as pathogenic loss-of-function mutations. Our findings suggest that ENPP1 mutational status should be evaluated in patients presenting with the diagnosis of idiopathic DISH, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), and early-onset osteoporosis. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).
