- Abstract
- Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a chronic disorder of bone
metabolism, which typically results in enlarged and
deformed bones in one or more regions of the skeleton.
The aetiology of PDB has remained unknown for several
decades, but either environmental or genetic factors have
been implicated. The former mainly concern the presence
of a slow-acting viral infection, a condition that may be
present for many years before symptoms appear. However,
there are also several data supporting a hereditary
hypothesis, since in up to40%of patients the disease may
appear in more than one family member. The genetic
architecture of PDB is incompletely understood, but
recent evidence suggests that the disease may be caused
by a combination of rare variants in genes such as SQSTM1
(detected in up to 50% of familial cases of PDB) and more
common variants (i.e. polymorphisms) in genes such as
CSF1, TNFRSF11A, OPTN and TM7SF4. (literal)
