Zusammenfassung
An x-ray image of a patient with melorheostosis shows excess bone formation, likened to dripping candle wax.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health worked with 15 patients from around the world to uncover a genetic basis of the rare bone disease.
The results, appearing in Nature Communications, offer potential treatment targets for this rare disease, provide important clues about bone development, and may lead to insights about fracture healing and osteoporosis.
