    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Rare diseases
    • Bone metabolism

    Background:

    • Van Buchem's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperostosis.
    • Previous research has identified mutations in the LRP5 gene associated with the condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and radiological features of Van Buchem's disease in a multigenerational family.
    • To investigate the inheritance pattern and phenotypic variability within the affected family.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of affected individuals.
    • Radiographic assessment including X-rays and CT scans.
    • Family history and pedigree analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified six affected members across three generations.
    • Clinical manifestations included progressive facial bone and long bone hyperostosis.
    • Radiological findings were consistent with classic Van Buchem's disease, with no significant differences between age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Van Buchem's disease exhibits autosomal recessive inheritance.
    • The disease presents with consistent hyperostosis across generations.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patients with Van Buchem's disease.
