Abstract excerpt
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) has a strong genetic component. Here, we investigated possible associations between genetic variants that predispose to PDB and disease severity. Allelic variants identified as predictors of PDB from genome-wide association studies were analyzed in 1940 PDB patients from the United Kingdom, Italy, Western Australia, and Spain. A cumulative risk allele score was constructed by adding...
