Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes recent findings concerning the genomic variations of the lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LPR5) in relation to bone biology. RECENT FINDINGS: Mutations in the LRP5 gene causing high bone mass (HBM) and osteoporosis-pseudoglioma (OPPG) underscored the role of the Wnt-LRP5 canonical signaling on bone formation. Additional LRP5 activating mutations have been...
