Clinical and molecular findings in osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 gene (LRP5) cause autosomal recessive osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG). We sequenced the coding exons of LRP5 in 37 probands suspected of having OPPG on the basis of the co-occurrence of severe congenital or childhood-onset visual impairment with bone fragility or osteoporosis recognized by young adulthood. We found two putative mutant...
