Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We found a novel heterozygous missense mutation (M282V) in the LRP5 gene in a patient with a high bone mass phenotype. In vitro studies suggest that a reduced antagonistic effect of DKK1 on canonical Wnt signaling contributes to the molecular effect of this mutation and its pathogenic consequence. INTRODUCTION: Gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding LDL receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) cause...
