Abstract excerpt
To determine the mechanism for the increased osteoclastogenesis in the jaw of cherubism patients with SH3BP2 mutations we evaluated the effect of mutant compared to wild-type SH3BP2 on activation of osteoclast signaling pathways. Indeed mutant forms of SH3BP2 do induce greater osteoclastogenesis. Heterozygous activating mutations in exon 9 of SH3BP2 have been found in most patients with cherubism, an unusual...
