MeSH definition : Rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by delayed closing of CRANIAL SUTURES,
short stature, ACRO-OSTEOLYSIS of distal phalanges, dental and MAXILLOFACIAL ABNORMALITIES
and an increase in bone density that results in frequent BONE FRACTURES. It is associated
with BONE RESORPTION defect due to mutations in the lysosomal cysteine protease CATHEPSIN
