Familial Paget Disease of Bone
- Juvenile Paget diseaseAutosomal recessive
A rare childhood-onset bone disorder caused by TNFRSF11B variants, with rapid bone turnover, bone pain, fractures and deformity.
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
Inheritance
- Autosomal recessive
- It takes a changed copy from each parent. With one, you are a carrier and usually unaffected; when both parents are carriers, each child has a one-in-four chance of inheriting two.

Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 2.1 kb of the gene's 28.3 kb; 1,206 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads TNFRSF11B
