Abstract excerpt
Neoplastic transformation is a rare but serious complication of Paget's disease of bone (PDB), occurring in fewer than 1% of individuals with polyostotic disease. Their prognosis is poor, with less than 50% surviving 5 years. In 2016, the genetic alteration of giant cell tumor (GCT) complicating PDB was identified as a founder germline mutation (P937R) in the ZNF687 gene. However, the study population was...
