Identification of a Major Locus for Paget's Disease on Chromosome 10p13 in Families of British Descent
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mutations of SQSTM1 are an important cause of PDB, but other genes remain to be discovered. A major susceptibility locus for PDB was identified on chromosome 10p13 by a genome-wide linkage scan in families of British descent, which accounted for the vast majority of cases not caused by SQSTM1 mutations. INTRODUCTION: Paget's disease of bone (PDB) has a strong genetic component, and several...
