Abstract excerpt
Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia (OSMD) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by osteosclerotic metaphyses with osteopenic diaphyses of the long tubular bones. Our previous study identified a homozygous elongation mutation in leucine-rich repeat kinase 1 gene (LRRK1) in a patient with OSMD and showed that Lrrk1 knockout mice exhibited phenotypic similarity with OSMD. Here we report a second LRRK1...
