| 616833 | OMIM | Paget disease of bone 6 (PDB6) | An autosomal dominant form of Paget disease, a disorder of bone remodeling characterized by increased bone turnover affecting one or more sites throughout the skeleton, primarily the axial skeleton. Osteoclastic overactivity followed by compensatory osteoblastic activity leads to a structurally disorganized mosaic of bone (woven bone), which is mechanically weaker, larger, less compact, more vascular, and more susceptible to fracture than normal adult lamellar bone. PDB6 is characterized by adult onset of bone pain associated with polyostotic bone lesions primarily affecting the axial skeleton. In some cases, the pagetic tissue undergoes neoplastic transformation, resulting in osteosarcoma and, less frequently, in giant cell tumor of bone. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
