A mutation affecting the latency-associated peptide of TGFbeta1 in Camurati-Engelmann disease enhances osteoclast formation in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by bone pain and osteosclerosis affecting the diaphysis of long bones. CED is caused by various missense mutations in the TGFB1 gene that encodes TGFbeta1, the most common of which is an arginine-cysteine amino acid

Pycnodysostosis with Multi-Segmental Spinal Canal Stenosis due to Ossification of the Yellow Ligament.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by osteosclerosis, small stature, acro-osteolysis of the distal phalanges, loss of the mandibular angle, separated cranial sutures with open fontanels, and frequent fractures. One identified cause of the disease is reduced activity of

A mutation in CTSK gene in an autosomal recessive pycnodysostosis family of Pakistani origin.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, acro-osteolysis, frequent fractures and skull deformities. Mutations in the gene encoding cathepsin K (CTSK), a lysosomal cysteine protease, have been found to be responsible

Novel CTSK mutation resulting in an entire exon 2 skipping in a Thai girl with pycnodysostosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis, short stature, acro-osteolysis of the distal phalanges, bone fragility and skull deformities. Mutations in the cathepsin K (CTSK) gene, which encodes a lysosomal cysteine protease highly expressed in

A Mutation in CTSK Gene in an Autosomal Recessive Pycnodysostosis Family of Chinese Origin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, acro-osteolysis, frequent fractures, and skull deformities. Mutation in the gene encoding cathepsin K (CTSK), which is a lysosomal cysteine protease, has been found to be responsible for

Characterization of common genetic variants in cathepsin K and testing for association with bone mineral density in a large cohort of perimenopausal women from Scotland.

Only registered users can translate articles

BMD values in approximately 3000 perimenopausal Scottish women were adjusted by regression to identify and account for nongenetic factors. Adjusted BMD values were not associated with simple tandem repeat (STR) markers or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the Cathepsin K (CTSK) locus. We

Multisuture Craniosynostosis and Papilledema in Pycnodysostosis: A Paradox?

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis (PYCD) is a rare autosomal-recessive skeletal disorder that typically presents with osteosclerosis of the majority of the postcranial skeleton and osteolysis of the calvarium, manifesting as persistent open cranial fontanelles and widely spaced cranial sutures. Craniosynsostosis in

Role of Wnts in prostate cancer bone metastases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Prostate cancer (CaP) is unique among all cancers in that when it metastasizes to bone, it typically forms osteoblastic lesions (characterized by increased bone production). CaP cells produce many factors, including Wnts that are implicated in tumor-induced osteoblastic activity. In this prospectus,

Craniosynostosis in pycnodysostosis: broadening the spectrum of the cranial flat bone abnormalities.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia caused by the absence of active cathepsin K, which is a lysosomal cysteine protease that plays a role in degrading the organic matrix of bones, acting in bone resorption and bone remodeling. The disease is primarily characterized by

Molecular and clinical analysis in a series of patients with Pyknodysostosis reveals some uncommon phenotypic findings.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pyknodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, deformity of the skull, osteosclerosis, hypoplasia of the clavicle, and bone fragility. Radiographs show increased bone density, osteosclerosis, and acroosteolysis of the terminal phalanges. The

Impaired osteoclastic bone resorption leads to osteopetrosis in cathepsin-K-deficient mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cathepsin K is a recently identified lysosomal cysteine proteinase. It is abundant in osteoclasts, where it is believed to play a vital role in the resorption and remodeling of bone. Pycnodysostosis is a rare inherited osteochondrodysplasia that is caused by mutations of the cathepsin-K gene,

Pycnodysostosis, a lysosomal disease caused by cathepsin K deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis, an autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis and short stature, maps to chromosome 1q21. Cathepsin K, a cysteine protease gene that is highly expressed in osteoclasts, localized to the pycnodysostosis region. Nonsense, missense, and stop codon

Two novel mutations of CLCN7 gene in Chinese families with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (type II).

Only registered users can translate articles

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II) is a heritable bone disorder characterized by osteosclerosis, predominantly involving the spine (vertebral end-plate thickening, or rugger-jersey spine), the pelvis ("bone-within-bone" structures) and the skull base. Chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) has

Decreased bone turnover and deterioration of bone structure in two cases of pycnodysostosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is an uncommon human genetic disorder characterized by osteosclerosis of the skeleton, short stature, and bone fragility. The disease results from mutations in the cathepsin K gene, a lysosomal cysteine protease highly expressed in osteoclasts and crucial for the degradation of

Only registered users can translate articles

Pycnodysostosis is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, osteosclerosis, acroosteolysis, bone fragility, and skull deformities. Recently, mutations in the gene encoding cathepsin K (CK), a lysosomal cysteine protease localized exclusively in osteoclasts, were
