Gain-of-function mutations in a member of the Src family kinases cause autoinflammatory bone disease in mice and humans

Abstract excerpt

Significance Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease that presents with bone destruction occurring primarily in children. In a mouse ENU mutagenesis screen, the Ali18 strain was isolated because of spontaneous inflammation in the joints and bones. Sequencing candidate genes in the Ali18 critical region identified a missense mutation in the C-terminal regulatory region...
