Abstract excerpt
Early onset familial Paget's disease of bone (EoPDB), familial expansile osteolysis, and expansile skeletal hyperphosphatasia are related disorders caused by insertion mutations in exon 1 of the TNFRSF11A gene, which encodes receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) protein. To understand the mechanisms underlying these disorders, we developed a mouse model carrying the 75dup27 mutation which causes EoPDB....
