ABSTRACT: Background
We identified two families with Paget's disease of bone (PDB) linked to the p.Pro392Leu mutation within the SQSTM1 gene displaying a possible digenism. This study aimed at identifying this second genetic variant cosegregating with the p.Pro392Leu mutation and at characterizing its impact on the clinical and cellular phenotypes of PDB.Methods
Whole exome sequencing was performed in one patient per family and two healthy controls. We compared clinical characteristics of PDB in 14 relatives from the two families. The osteoclastic phenotype was compared in in vitro differentiated osteoclasts from 31 participants carrying the DOCK6 and/or SQSTM1 variants. Tridimensional models of SQSTM1 and DOCK6 proteins were generated to evaluate the impact of these variants on thei
