Learn About Juvenile Paget's Disease

What is the definition of Juvenile Paget's Disease?

Juvenile Paget disease is a disorder that affects bone growth. This disease causes bones to be abnormally large, misshapen, and easily broken (fractured).

What are the causes of Juvenile Paget's Disease?

Juvenile Paget disease is caused by mutations in the TNFRSF11B gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in bone remodeling, a normal process in which old bone is broken down and new bone is created to replace it.

How prevalent is Juvenile Paget's Disease?

Juvenile Paget disease is rare; about 50 affected individuals have been identified worldwide.

Is Juvenile Paget's Disease an inherited disorder?

This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.
