Abstract excerpt
Multiple genes are known to be associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a phenotypically and genetically heterogenous bone disorder, marked predominantly by low bone mineral density and increased risk of fractures. Recently, mutations affecting MESD, which encodes for a chaperone required for trafficking of the low-density lipoprotein receptors LRP5 and LRP6 in the endoplasmic reticulum, were described to...
