Abstract

Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of Paget disease of bone (PDB). SQSTM1 is the most important disease-associated gene identified to date. We investigated the relationship of family history, phenotype, and SQSTM1 mutation status in New Zealand (a country with a high prevalence of PDB) in patients with a family history and/or a severe phenotype. We studied 61 unrelated subjects with familial PDB. Family history was subclassified into three groups according to the closeness of the relationship. We also studied a fourth group of 19 unrelated patients defined by early onset and/or severe disease but no family history. The PDB phenotype was defined according to age, alkaline phosphatase activity, and disease extent on scintiscan at the time of diagnosis. Mutations in exon 8 of SQSTM1 were detected by screening of genomic DNA. Four different mutations were identified; the ubiquitous P392L mutation and the truncating mutation E396X accounted for 89% of cases. Overall 26% of patients with familial PBD in New Zealand had disease-associated mutations in the SQSTM1 gene. Mutations were most prevalent (60%) in those with a parent or sibling and at least one other relative affected (P < 0.002). The severity of the phenotype was significantly related to SQSTM1 mutation status but not the strength of the family history (P < 0.005). SQSTM1 mutations were found in 10.5% of patients with early onset and/or severe disease but no family history.
