Abstract excerpt
Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion that occurs most commonly in the tibia of children. Tibial involvement leads to bowing and predisposes to the development of a fracture which exhibit significantly delayed healing processes, leading to prolonged morbidity. We previously identified gain-of-function mutations in the MET gene as a cause for OFD. In our present study, we test the...
