The concentration of .alpha.1HS-glycoprotein was measured in the serum and urine of normal individuals and patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. The serum concentration of .alpha.2HS-glycoprotein was higher in normal children than in adults. In women values showed a progressive age-related decrease, from 632 mg/l at 21-30 yr to 573 mg/l at 51-60 yr. In men there was no such age-related variation, and values were higher than in women of comparable age. The mean value for men aged 20-60 yr was 648 mg/l. Of 48 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta, 11 had an abnormally high concentration of .alpha.2HS-glycoprotein in serum; the cause of this is not clear. In urine of 24 normal individuals the mean value of the ratio of albumin:.alpha.2HS-glycoprotein was 20 .+-. 3; in serum the corresponding ratio was 70. Urine excretion of .alpha.2HS-glycoprotein was lowest in female children (132 .+-. 29 .mu.g/24 h) and highest in male adults (592 .+-. 91 .mu.g/24 h); values in patients with ostengenesis imperfecta did not differ from normal.
