Susceptibility
  • to the development of Paget disease
  • to familial and sporadic ALS
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • (P392L) expression on osteoclasts is not sufficient to induce the full pagetic phenotype but cause a predisposition to the development of Paget disease by increasing the sensitivity of osteoclast precursors to osteoclastogenic cytokines
  • p.Ala53Thr and p.Pro439Leu, associated with sporadic ALS
  • Candidate gene
