Ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis with tylosis is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by ossification of the paraspinal ligament, sclerosis of the sacroiliac joint, and punctate hyperkeratosis (affecting the soles and palms).[1] Some people with the condition are actually asymptomatic, which means they're relatively unaffected by it, the people who do show symptoms of it usually only show chronic/recurring back pain ranging from mild to moderate and, occasionally, obesity.[2][3] It has only been described in 8 members of a 2-generation Greek Cypriot family.[4][5] It is a type of dysostosis.
