Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II is characterized by sclerosis, predominantly involving the spine, the pelvis, and the skull base. Fragility of bones and dental abscess are leading complications.

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type I (OPTA1; 607634) is ...

Clinical Description OMIM Salzano (1961) reviewed dominant cases of osteopetrosis and found that fragility of bones and dental abscess are leading complications. A more malignant form, inherited as a recessive (see OPTB1, 259700), causes anemia and early death from interference with ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Among 12 autosomal dominant osteopetrosis families analyzed, Cleiren et al. (2001) reported 7 different mutations in the CLCN7 gene (see, e.g., 602727.0004 and 602727.0005). Among these families was the Danish family that Van Hul et al. (1997) initially ...
Population genetics OMIM Salzano (1961) estimated the frequency of the dominant form of osteopetrosis in Brazil to be about 1 in 100,000.
