The third case of TNFRSF11A-associated dysosteosclerosis with a mutation producing elongating proteins.

Abstract excerpt

Dysosteosclerosis (DOS) is a distinct form of sclerosing bone disease characterized by platyspondyly and progressive osteosclerosis. DOS is genetically heterogeneous. Three causal genes, SLC29A3, CSF1R, and TNFRSF11A are reported. TNFRSF11A-associated DOS has been identified in two patients; however, TNFRSF11A is also a causal gene for osteopetrosis, autosomal recessive 7 (OP-AR7). Whole-exome sequencing in a...
