Somatic mutations in SQSTM1 detected in affected tissues from patients with sporadic Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract excerpt

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a focal disorder of bone remodeling that leads to overgrowth of affected bone, with rare progression to osteosarcoma. Extensive studies of familial PDB showed that a majority of cases harbor germline mutations in the Sequestosome1 gene (SQSTM1). In contrast, little is known about the mutational status of SQSTM1 in sporadic PDB. We hypothesized that somatic SQSTM1 mutations might...
