Lentiviral plasmid of pSSFV-LRRK1 was generated by replacing green fluorescent protein (GFP) with a synthesised 3xFLAG/LRRK1 DNA (GenScript, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA) at the restriction sites of SgfI and PmeI of the pRRLsin-cPPT-SFFV-GFP-wpre vector. ... | Get A Quote |

BACKGROUND: Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia (OSMD) is a unique form of osteopetrosis characterised by severe osteosclerosis localised to the bone ends. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. Its genetic basis is not known. OBJECTIVE: To identify the disease gene for OSMD. METHODS AND RESULTS: By whole exome sequencing in a boy with OSMD, we identified a homozygous 7 bp deletion (c.5938_5944delGAGTGGT) in the LRRK1 gene. His skeletal phenotype recapitulated that seen in the Lrrk1-deficient mouse. The shared skeletal hallmarks included severe sclerosis in the undermodelled metaphyses and epiphyseal margins of the tubular bones, costal ends, vertebral endplates and margins of the flat bones.
