Skeletal dysplasias with increased bone density: evolution of molecular pathogenesis in the last century.

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal dysplasias (SKD) with increased bone density form a discrete group of SKDs as per the Nosology and Classification of Genetic Skeletal Disorders, 2010 Revision. This group, with the prototype disorder being osteopetrosis, has evolved over the last century, with new entities being described & their molecular basis being increasingly elucidated. Osteopetrosis, which remained an enigma in the early part of...
