Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Osteoclasts are the most important cells involved in the pathogenesis of Paget disease of bone (PDB). Cytokines stimulate osteoclast differentiation and activation, with some of them over-expressed in pagetic osteoclasts. We have assessed whether genetic variability in genes coding of proteins from the IL1 pathway clustered in chromosome 2 is associated with clinical characteristics and the...
