Familial Paget Disease of Bone
- Paget disease of bone 6 (ZNF687-related)Autosomal dominant
A form of Paget disease of bone caused by ZNF687 variants, which can be severe and has been linked to giant cell tumours of bone.
- 1 GenCC submitter rates it definitive or strong
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant
- One changed copy, from either parent, is enough. A parent who has one passes it on to each child with a one-in-two chance.
