Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to recognize clinical features of Paget’s disease of bone and to describe how the osteoclast, a myeloid-derived cell responsible for bone resorption, contributes to the disease.
Recent Findings
Recent studies have identified several variants in SQSTM1, OPTN, and other genes that may predispose individuals to Paget’s disease of bone; studies of these genes and their protein products have elucidated new roles for these proteins in bone physiology.
Summary
Understanding the pathologic mechanisms in the Pagetic osteoclast may lead to the identification of future treatment targets for other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases characterized by abnormal bone erosion and/or osteoclast activation.
