High Bone Density Due to a Mutation in LDL-Receptor–Related Protein 5

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem of largely unknown cause. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene for low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5), which acts in the Wnt signaling pathway, have been shown to cause osteoporosis-pseudoglioma. METHODS: We performed... View More
