The molecular pathogenesis of Paget disease of bone.

Abstract excerpt

Paget disease of bone (PDB) is a condition characterised by increased bone remodelling at discrete lesions throughout the skeleton. The primary cellular abnormality in PDB involves a net increase in the activity of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, with a secondary increase in bone-forming osteoblast activity. Genetic factors are known to play an important role, with mutations affecting different components of the...
