An unusual manifestation in a pediatric patient with MAFB mutation: Sacroiliitis in multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO) syndrome, is typically characterized by progressive bone resorption in especially carpal and tarsal bones, in addition to abnormal facial appearance and proteinuria. This disorder is caused by monoallelic pathogenic MAFB mutations, which result in excessive osteoclastogenesis via aberrant receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand activation.
