The collagen composition (types I, II, and III) of the normal developing human larynx and trachea was examined by biochemical methods. Autopsy specimens of larynges with attached upper tracheal rings were obtained from 28 humans ranging in age from birth to 44 years. The specimens were randomly collected, but excluded if laryngeal disease existed. The age, sex, and cause of death were documented. Collagen is important in the growth, development, repair, regeneration, and structural and functional integrity of the laryngeal framework. A preliminary report of selected cartilaginous components of the larynx was previously published by the authors, which studied the changes in the phenotypic expression of the collagen genes in children from the newborn period to 5 years 10 months of age. The current study included all of the functioning components of the skeletal larynx and trachea. The results of biochemical examination of these tissues are reported, and the potential clinical significance of the results of the study is discussed.
