Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Homozygous mutations in TNFRSF11B, the gene encoding osteoprotegerin, were found in affected members from six of nine families with idiopathic hyperphosphatasia. The severity of the phenotype was related to the predicted effects of the mutations on osteoprotegerin function. INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic hyperphosphatasia (IH) is a rare high bone turnover congenital bone disease in which affected children...
