An international team led by University of Edinburgh has discovered three genes which may lead to the progress of Paget’s disease, a chronic disorder that results in enlarged and deformed bone.
The team of scientists from UK, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, claim that genes control the rate at which bones are repaired, and may provide the reasons for the development of the disease.
Paget's disease, commonly observed at an older age and in women, interrupts the body's normal method of breaking and replacing old bone, leading to bone pain, brittle bones, and advanced arthritis.
