Genetic regulatory mechanisms in human osteoclasts suggest a role for the STMP1 and DCSTAMP genes in Paget’s disease of bone

Abstract excerpt

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is characterised by focal abnormalities of bone remodelling, with increased osteoclastic resorption the primary feature of the disease. Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in PDB, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 7 genetic loci as associated with PDB at the genome-wide level. Expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies using cell...
