Mutations in the CLCN7 gene result in autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO‑II), autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) and intermediate ARO (IARO).
Mutations in the CLCN7 gene result in autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO‑II), autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) and intermediate ARO (IARO).
More than 25 different CLCN7 mutations have been identified in patients affected with Albers-Schönberg disease, but only one mutation (Clcn7<sup>G213R</sup>) has been introduced in mice to create an animal model of this disease.
Novel mutations of CLCN7 cause autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADOII) and intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) in seven Chinese families.
Novel mutations of CLCN7 cause autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II) and intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (IARO) in Chinese patients.
Novel mutations of CLCN7 cause autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II) and intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (IARO) in Chinese patients.
Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO II) is a rare, heritable bone disorder characterized by a high bone mass and insufficient osteoclast activity.
ADO (Albers-Schönberg disease, or previously ADO2) is characterized by increased number of osteoclasts and a defect in the chloride transport system (ClC-7) of importance for acidification of the resorption lacuna (a form of Chloride Channel 7 Deficiency Osteopetrosis).
There are three types of osteopetrosis: autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO), autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO II), and intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (IARO).
Here we describe a patient who presented with a clinical picture of Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis type I (ADO I), in whom we could identify the first deletion in the LRP5 gene causing increased bone mass.
We have used rat ClC-7 in CHO cells as a model system to investigate the functionality and cellular localization of the wt transporter and its variant G213RClC-7 which is the analogue of human G215RClC-7 responsible for autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II.
Recent studies have reported loss-of-function mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene as a cause of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II).
Characteristics of ClC7 Cl- channels and their inhibition in mutant (G215R) associated with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II in native osteoclasts and hClcn7 gene-expressing cells.
In this study we analysed the imaging patterns in two families containing five members with asymptomatic and uncomplicated autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO II), and we report new and uncommon radiological manifestations.
Recent studies have reported loss-of-function mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene as a cause of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II).
Dominant negative mutations of the ClCN7 gene cause the so-called Albers-Schönberg disease, which represents the most frequent and heterogeneous form of osteopetrosis, ranging from asymptomatic to intermediate/severe, thus suggesting additional genetic/environmental determinants affecting penetrance.
Mutations in the chloride channel 7 gene (CLCN7) cause osteopetrosis, and polymorphisms of CLCN7 in the non-disease allele are associated with penetrance of the autosomal dominant osteopetrosis (ADO) phenotype.
We isolated CD14+ monocytes from human peripheral blood from either controls or patients with autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADOII) caused by defective ClC-7 function and cultured them in the presence of RANKL and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) to generate osteoclasts.
