WHIM Syndrome-linked CXCR4 mutations drive osteoporosis by mitigating the osteogenic specification of skeletal stromal cells
2022-01-18
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>WHIM Syndrome (WS) is a rare immunodeficiency caused by gain-of-function <italic>CXCR4</italic> mutations. Here we report for the first time a substantial decrease in bone mineral density in 25% of WS patients and bone defects leading to osteoporosis in a WS mouse model. Reduction in bone content involved impaired CXCR4 desensitization that disrupts cell cycle progression and osteogenic...
