Abstract excerpt
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a common, late-onset bone disorder, characterized by focal increases of bone turnover that can result in bone lesions. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in the Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene are found to be the main genetic cause of PDB. More recently, PFN1 and ZNF687 have been identified as causal genes in patients with a severe, early-onset, polyostotic form of PDB, and an...
