Juvenile Paget's disease with compound heterozygous mutations in TNFRSF11B presenting with recurrent clavicular fractures and a mild skeletal phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Juvenile Paget's disease (JPD) is a rare recessively-inherited bone dysplasia. The great majority of cases described to date have had homozygous mutations in TNFRSF11B, the gene encoding osteoprotegerin. We describe a boy who presented with recurrent clavicular fractures following minor trauma (8 fractures from age 2 to 11).
