Contribution of genetic factors to the pathogenesis of Paget's disease of bone and related disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a common condition with a strong genetic component that is characterized by focal increases in bone turnover, leading to bone deformity, pathological fractures, and various other complications. Several rare disorders have also been described that show phenotypic overlap with PDB. Genome-wide searches have identified several susceptibility loci for PDB and PDB-like disorders, and...
