Abstract excerpt
Three different insertion mutations in the TNFRSF11A gene affecting the signal peptide of RANK have been described. An 18-bp duplication at position 84 (84dup18) is associated with the clinical syndrome of familial expansile osteolysis (FEO), whereas a 15-bp duplication at the same site (84dup15) causes the syndrome of expansile skeletal hyperphosphatasia (ESH). Here we report the phenotype of patients harboring...
