Paget disease of bone 2, early-onsetOMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Paget disease of bone 2, early-onset;
Symbol : PDB2;
CISMeF acronym : PDB2;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Paget disease is a metabolic bone disease characterized by focal abnormalities of
increased bone turnover affecting 1 or more sites throughout the skeleton, primarily
the axial skeleton. Bone lesions in this disorder show evidence of increased osteoclastic
bone resorption and disorganized bone structure. Ralston et al. (2008) provided a
detailed review of the pathogenesis and current management of the disorder.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Susceptibility conferred by mutation in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily,
member 11A gene (TNFRSF11A, 603499.0002);
