ZNF687 mutations are frequently found in pagetic patients from South Italy: implication in the pathogenesis of Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract excerpt

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a skeletal disorder whose molecular basis is not fully elucidated. However, 10% of patients show a familial PDB and 35% of them carry mutations in the SQSTM1 gene. We recently reported a founder mutation (p.Pro937Arg) in the ZNF687 gene, underlying PDB complicated by giant cell tumor (GCT/PDB) and rarely occurring in PDB patients without neoplastic degeneration. Since 80% of...
