RESUMO
Macrophage colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) plays a critical role in maintaining myeloid lineage cells. However, congenital global deficiency of CSF-1 (Csf1op/op) causes severe musculoskeletal defects that may indirectly affect hematopoiesis. Indeed, we show here that osteolineage-derived Csf1 prevented developmental abnormalities but had no effect on monopoiesis in adulthood. However, ubiquitous deletion of Csf1 conditionally in adulthood decreased monocyte survival, differentiation, and migration, independent of its effects on bone development. Bone histology revealed that monocytes reside near sinusoidal endothelial cells (ECs) and leptin receptor (Lepr)-expressing perivascular mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Targeted deletion of Csf1 from sinusoidal ECs selectively reduced Ly6C- monocytes, whereas combined depletion of Csf1 from ECs and MSCs further decreased Ly6Chi cells. Moreover, EC-derived CSF-1 facilitated recovery of Ly6C- monocytes and protected mice from weight loss following induction of polymicrobial sepsis. Thus, monocytes are supported by distinct cellular sources of CSF-1 within a perivascular BM niche.

Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a rare bone disease of impaired osteoclastic bone resorption that usually results from heterozygous missense mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene. We previously created mouse models of ADO2 (p.G213R) with one of the most common mutations (G215R) as found in humans and demonstrated that this mutation in mice phenocopies the human disease of ADO2. Previous studies have shown that roflumilast (RF), a selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor that regulates the cAMP pathway, can increase osteoclast activity. We also observed that RF increased bone resorption in both wild-type and ADO2 heterozygous osteoclasts in vitro, suggesting it might rescue bone phenotypes in ADO2 mice. To test this hypothesis, we administered RF-treated diets (0, 20 and 100 mg/kg) to 8-week-old ADO2 mice for 6 months. We evaluated bone mineral density and bone micro-architecture using longitudinal in-vivo DXA and micro-CT at baseline, and 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-week post-baseline time points. Additionally, we analyzed serum bone biomarkers (CTX, TRAP, and P1NP) at baseline, 12-, and 24-week post-baseline. Our findings revealed that RF treatment did not improve aBMD (whole body, femur, and spine) and trabecular BV/TV (distal femur) in ADO2 mice compared to the control group treated with a normal diet. Furthermore, we did not observe any significant changes in serum levels of bone biomarkers due to RF treatment in these mice. Overall, our results indicate that RF does not rescue the osteopetrotic bone phenotypes in ADO2 heterozygous mice.

Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a rare bone disease of impaired osteoclastic bone resorption caused by heterozygous missense mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7). Adenylate cyclase, which catalyzes the formation of cAMP, is critical for lysosomal acidification in osteoclasts. We found reduced cAMP levels in ADO2 osteoclasts compared to wild-type (WT) osteoclasts, leading us to examine whether regulating cAMP would improve ADO2 osteoclast activity. Although forskolin, a known activator of adenylate cyclase and cAMP levels, negatively affected osteoclast number, it led to an overall increase in ADO2 and WT osteoclast resorption activity in vitro. Next, we examined cAMP hydrolysis by the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) proteins in ADO2 versus WT osteoclasts. QPCR analysis revealed higher expression of the three major PDE4 subtypes (4a, 4b, 4d) in ADO2 osteoclasts compared in WT, consistent with reduced cAMP levels in ADO2 osteoclasts. In addition, we found that the PDE4 antagonists, rolipram and roflumilast, stimulated ADO2 and WT osteoclast formation in a dose-dependent manner. Importantly, roflumilast and rolipram displayed a concentration-dependent increase in osteoclast resorption activity which was greater in ADO2 than WT osteoclasts. Moreover, treatment with roflumilast rescued cAMP levels in ADO2 OCLs. The key findings from our studies demonstrate that osteoclasts from ADO2 mice exhibit reduced cAMP levels and PDE4 inhibition rescues cAMP levels and ADO2 osteoclast activity dysfunction in vitro. The mechanism of action of PDE4 inhibitors and their ability to reduce the high bone mass of ADO2 mice in vivo are currently under investigation. Importantly, these studies advance the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the ADO2 osteoclast dysfunction which is critical for the development of therapeutic approaches to treat clinically affected ADO2 patients.

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (ADO2) is a rare inherited bone disorder characterised by dense but brittle bones. It displays striking phenotypic variability, with the most severe symptoms, including blindness and bone marrow failure. Disease management largely relies on symptomatic treatment since there is no safe and effective treatment. Most ADO2 cases are caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the CLCN7 gene, which encodes an essential Cl-/H+ antiporter for proper bone resorption by osteoclasts. Thus, siRNA-mediated silencing of the mutant allele is a promising therapeutic approach, but targeting bone for first-in-human translation remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate the utility of silicon-stabilised hybrid lipid nanoparticles (sshLNPs) as a next-generation nucleic acid nanocarrier capable of delivering allele-specific siRNA to bone. Using a Clcn7G213R knock-in mouse model recapitulating one of the most common human ADO2 mutations and based on the 129S genetic background (which produces the most severe disease phenotype amongst current models), we show substantial knockdown of the mutant allele in femur when siRNA targeting the pathogenic variant is delivered by sshLNPs. We observed lower areal bone mineral density in femur and reduced trabecular thickness in femur and tibia, when siRNA-loaded sshLNPs were administered subcutaneously (representing the most relevant administration route for clinical adoption and patient adherence). Importantly, sshLNPs have improved stability over conventional LNPs and enable 'post hoc loading' for point-of-care formulation. The treatment was well tolerated, suggesting that sshLNP-enabled gene therapy might allow successful clinical translation of essential new treatments for ADO2 and potentially other rare genetic bone diseases.

BACKGROUND: Osteopetrosis is a group of geneticall heterogeneous disorders resulting from impaired osteoclast function and bone resorption. The identification of specific genetic mutations can yield important prognostic and therapeutic implications. Herein, we present the diagnosis and successful application of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in a patient with osteopetrosis caused by carbonic anhydrase II deficiency (Intermediate osteopetrosis). CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we describe a 2.5-year-old male patient born to consanguineous parents who presented at 8-month-old with hydrocephaly, brain shunt, and developmental delay. Later at 9 months old, he was found to have eye disorder such as nystagmus, fracture of the elbow, abnormal skeletal survey, normal cell blood count (CBC), and severe hypocellularity in the bone marrow. Further evaluation showed renal tubular acidosis type 2. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a pathogenic homozygous variant in intron 2 of the carbonic anhydrase 2 gene (CA2) gene (c.232 + 1 G>T). The diagnosis of intermediate autosomal recessive osteopetrosis was established, and allogenic HSCT from his mother, a full-matched related donor (MRD), was planned. The conditioning regimen included Busulfan, Fludarabine, and Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin. Cyclosporine and Mycophenolate Mofetil were used for graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis. He Engrafted on day +13, and 95% chimerism was achieved. He is currently doing well without immunosuppressive therapy, now 12 months post HSCT, with normal calcium level and improving visual quality and FISH analysis revealed complete donor chimerism. DISCUSSION: HSCT could be a promising curative treatment for intermediate osteopetrosis and can provide long-term survival. Ongoing challenges in various aspects of HSCT remain to be addressed.

Osteopetrosis describes several types of rare sclerosing bone dysplasias of varying clinical and radiographic severity. The classic autosomal dominant subtype emerges most often in adolescence but can present from infancy through adulthood. The autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, or "malignant infantile osteopetrosis," presents in infancy with a grimmer prognosis, though the autosomal dominant forms (often mislabeled as "benign") actually can have life-threatening consequences as well. Often osteopetrosis is detected due to skeletal findings on radiographs performed to evaluate injury or as an incidental finding during evaluation for illness. Given the varied phenotypic severity and presentations at different ages, radiologists play an integral role in the care of these patients both in diagnosis and in clinical evaluation and monitoring. A deeper understanding of the underlying genetic basis of the disease can aid in the radiologist in diagnosis and in anticipation of unique complications. An overview of current clinical management is also discussed.

INTRODUCTION: Orthodontic therapy in patients with osteopetrosis (OP) of the jaws has typically been contraindicated owing to the presence of poorly perfused and extremely compact bone, and the potential risk for infection and osteomyelitis. As such, completed orthodontic cases in association with OP have rarely been published. PATIENT CONCERNS: A patient aged 14 years 6 months, with no known diagnosis of OP, sought orthodontic assessment for anterior crowding. CLINICAL FINDINGS: The patient exhibited a straight facial profile and increased mandibular facial height, competent lips, shallow mentolabial sulcus with mild mentalis strain, flat/reverse smile arc and wide buccal corridors on smiling. PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS: The patient had a Class I incisor relationship on Class I skeletal bases with bilateral Class I molars and Class II canine relationships. This was complicated by a crossbite involving the lateral incisors and a Bolton discrepancy due to small maxillary lateral incisors. A radiologic assessment revealed polyostotic OP of the oromaxillofacial complex. INTERVENTIONS: Treatment consisted of maxillary and mandibular fixed orthodontic therapy, bite turbos and elastics to level and align the dentition. Extractions of permanent teeth were not needed. OUTCOMES: At the conclusion of treatment, there was a slight left Class II malocclusion, with incomplete intercuspation on the left side due to tooth size discrepancy, possibly attributed to inadequate elastics compliance and the presence of osteopetrotic bone. The treatment was completed in 3 years, 1 year longer than anticipated. CONCLUSION: This report represents the second published account of a patient with OP successfully managed with comprehensive orthodontic care and without osseous complications. Obtaining cephalometric measurements on OP-affected patients may be imprecise owing to the presence of extremely dense bone and difficulty to identify bony landmarks. To reduce osteopetrotic sequelae, attending clinicians should consider reduced exertional orthodontic forces and closely monitor patients for adverse alveolar events.
RESUMO
Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary illness generated by failure in osteoclasts resulting in elevated bone densities. Patients with osteopetrosis possess several complications, like dental caries, earlier teeth loss, delayed eruption, malformed crowns and roots, and lamina dura thickening. Since deficiency of carbonic anhydrase II is a major cause behind osteopetrosis, carbonic anhydrase II activators have a large number of applications in osteopetrosis treatment. There is a lack of a comprehensive review on osteopetrosis, pathogenesis of dental abnormalities, and the role of carbonic anhydrase II activators in osteopetrosis treatment. To address this research gap, the authros perfomed a comprehensive review on osteopetrosis and its types, pathogenesis of dental abnormalities, and the role of carbonic anhydrase II activators in osteopetrosis treatment. A brief introduction to the pathogenesis of dental abnormalities and regeneration is provided in this survey. A discussion of types of osteopetrosis depending on genetic inheritance, such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked inheritance osteopetrosis, is presented in this survey. The paper also focuses on the importance of carbonic anhydrase II activators as a potential drug therapy for dental osteopetrosis. In addition, a brief note on the role of azole and fluconazole in treating osteopetrosis is given. Finally, future directions involving gene therapy for dental osteopetrosis are described.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Leukocyte and platelet integrin function defects are present in leukocyte adhesion deficiency type III (LAD-III) due to mutations in FERMT3. Additionally, osteoclast/osteoblast dysfunction develops in LAD-III. AIM: To discuss the distinguishing clinical, radiological, and laboratory features of LAD-III. METHODS: This study included the clinical, radiological, and laboratory characteristics of twelve LAD-III patients. RESULTS: The male/female ratio was 8/4. The parental consanguinity ratio was 100%. Half of the patients had a family history of patients with similar findings. The median age at presentation and diagnosis was 18 (1-60) days and 6 (1-20) months, respectively. The median leukocyte count on admission was 43,150 (30,900-75,700)/µL. The absolute eosinophil count was tested in 8/12 patients, and eosinophilia was found in 6/8 (75%). All patients had a history of sepsis. Other severe infections were pneumonia (66.6%), omphalitis (25%), osteomyelitis (16.6%), gingivitis/periodontitis (16%), chorioretinitis (8.3%), otitis media (8.3%), diarrhea (8.3%), and palpebral conjunctiva infection (8.3%). Four patients (33.3%) received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA-matched-related donors, and one deceased after HSCT. At initial presentation, 4 (33.3%) patients were diagnosed with other hematologic disorders, three patients (P5, P7, and P8) with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), and one (P2) with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). CONCLUSION: In LAD-III, leukocytosis, eosinophilia, and bone marrow findings may mimic pathologies such as JMML and MDS. In addition to non-purulent infection susceptibility, patients with LAD-III exhibit Glanzmann-type bleeding disorder. In LAD-III, absent integrin activation due to kindlin-3 deficiency disrupts osteoclast actin cytoskeleton organization. This results in defective bone resorption and osteopetrosis-like radiological changes. These are distinctive features compared to other LAD types.

Homozygosity for the R51Q mutation in sorting nexin 10 (SNX10) inactivates osteoclasts (OCLs) and induces autosomal recessive osteopetrosis in humans and in mice. We show here that the fusion of wild-type murine monocytes to form OCLs is highly regulated, and that its extent is limited by blocking fusion between mature OCLs. In contrast, monocytes from homozygous R51Q SNX10 mice fuse uncontrollably, forming giant dysfunctional OCLs that can become 10- to 100-fold larger than their wild-type counterparts. Furthermore, mutant OCLs display reduced endocytotic activity, suggesting that their deregulated fusion is due to alterations in membrane homeostasis caused by loss of SNX10 function. This is supported by the finding that the R51Q SNX10 protein is unstable and exhibits altered lipid-binding properties, and is consistent with a key role for SNX10 in vesicular trafficking. We propose that OCL size and functionality are regulated by a cell-autonomous SNX10-dependent mechanism that downregulates fusion between mature OCLs. The R51Q mutation abolishes this regulatory activity, leading to excessive fusion, loss of bone resorption capacity and, consequently, to an osteopetrotic phenotype in vivo. This article has an associated First Person interview with the joint first authors of the paper.

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a heritable bone disease of impaired osteoclastic bone resorption caused by missense mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene. Clinical features of ADO2 include fractures, osteomyelitis of jaw, vision loss, and in severe cases, bone marrow failure. Currently, there is no effective therapy for ADO2, and patients usually receive symptomatic treatments. Theoretically, bone marrow transplantation (BMT), which is commonly used in recessive osteopetrosis, could be used to treat ADO2, although the frequency of complications related to BMT is quite high. We created an ADO2 knock-in (p.G213R mutation) mouse model on the 129 genetic background, and their phenotypes mimic the human disease of ADO2. To test whether BMT could restore osteoclast function and rescue the bone phenotypes in ADO2 mice, we transplanted bone marrow cells from 6-8 weeks old male WT donor mice into recipient female ADO2 mice. Also, to determine whether age at the time of transplant may play a role in transplant success, we performed BMT in young (12-week-old) and old (9-month-old) ADO2 mice. Our data indicate that ADO2 mice transplanted with WT marrow achieved more than 90% engraftment up to 6 months post-transplantation at both young and old ages. The in-vivo DXA data revealed that young ADO2 mice transplanted with WT marrow had significantly lower whole body and spine areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at month 6 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice. The old ADO2 mice also displayed significantly lower whole body, femur, and spine aBMD at months 4 and 5 post-transplantation compared to the age-matched control mice. The in-vivo micro-CT data showed that ADO2 experimental mice transplanted with WT marrow had significantly lower BV/TV at months 2 and 4 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice at a young age. In contrast, ADO2 control and experimental mice displayed similar BV/TV values for all post-transplantation time points at old age. In addition, serum CTX was significantly higher at month 2 post-transplantation in both young and old ADO2 experimental mice compared to the ADO2 control mice. Serum P1NP levels in young ADO2 experimental mice were significantly higher at baseline and month 2 post-transplantation compared to the ADO2 control mice. These data suggest that BMT may provide, at least, some beneficial effect at both young and adult ages.

Mutation in OSTM1 give rise to the rarest and most lethal subtype of malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP), and an improved understanding of OSTM1-associated MIOP would help with informed decision-making regarding symptom management and early palliative care referral. This retrospective study describes the clinical and laboratory features of patients with a genetic diagnosis of OSTM1 MIOP made between January 2011 and December 2021 in the Department of Pediatrics, Al-Adan Hospital, Kuwait. Twenty-two children had confirmed homozygous deletion in OSTM1 (13 females, nine males). Consanguinity was reported in almost all parents. 72.7% were diagnosed before the age of two months, most commonly incidentally with a high clinical suspicion. All 22 patients developed upper respiratory symptoms, hepatosplenomegaly, poor feeding, and had severe developmental delay. 80% of patients developed pain and/or irritability, and 40.9% were diagnosed with primary seizures. Bone fractures developed in 27% of patients, most likely iatrogenic, and some patients had hernia and gum abnormalities. The mean survival was 10.9 months. The clinical presentation, symptomatology, and mortality of our cohort were compared with other cases of OSTM1 MIOP identified through a comperhensive search of the PubMed database. The findings conclude that OSTM1 MIOP is a multi-systemic disease with distinct clinical features, of which neurological complications are the most severe and include nociplastic pain and irritability. Although orthopedic complications influence the trajectory of most patients with other forms of osteopetrosis, OSTM1 MIOP is driven by its neurological complications. Hence, OSTM1 should be regarded as a neurodegenerative disease with osteopetrosis as a comorbidity that warrants early palliative care referral.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recently, there has been an increasing number of studies on the crosstalk between the bone and the bone marrow and how it pertains to anemia. Here, we discuss four heritable clinical syndromes contrasting those in which anemia affects bone growth and development, with those in which abnormal bone development results in anemia, highlighting the multifaceted interactions between skeletal development and hematopoiesis. RECENT FINDINGS: Anemia results from both inherited and acquired disorders caused by either impaired production or premature destruction of red blood cells or blood loss. The downstream effects on bone development and growth in patients with anemia often constitute an important part of their clinical condition. We will discuss the interdependence of abnormal bone development and growth and hematopoietic abnormalities, with a focus on the erythroid lineage. To illustrate those points, we selected four heritable anemias that arise from either defective hematopoiesis impacting the skeletal system (the hemoglobinopathies ß-thalassemia and sickle cell disease) versus defective osteogenesis resulting in impaired hematopoiesis (osteopetrosis). Finally, we will discuss recent findings in Diamond Blackfan anemia, an intrinsic disorder of both the erythron and the bone. By focusing on four representative hereditary hematopoietic disorders, this complex relationship between bone and blood should lead to new areas of research in the field.

BACKGROUND: Osteopetrosis is a rare, inherited disorder in which bone remodels to become pathologically dense. There has been a paucity of data evaluating medical and surgical complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in this patient population. The objective of this study was to evaluate osteopetrosis as a potential risk factor for medical and surgical complications following THA and TKA. METHODS: Patients who had a diagnosis of osteopetrosis and underwent THA or TKA from 2010 to 2020 were identified in a national database. A total of 534 THA and 972 TKA patients who had osteopetrosis were identified and compared with matched cohorts of 2,670 and 4,860 patients, respectively. The rates of postoperative medical and surgical complications, hospital readmissions, and emergency room visits were calculated. In addition, reimbursements and lengths of stay were determined. Osteopetrosis patients were then compared to a 5:1 matched cohort without osteopetrosis using logistic regression analyses to control for additional confounding factors. RESULTS: The osteopetrosis THA group had a substantially higher incidence of intraoperative periprosthetic fracture compared to the matched cohort (1.12% versus 0.19%, Odds Ratio 5.88, P = .005). Patients who had a history of osteopetrosis were not found to be at a significantly increased risk for other investigated medical or surgical complications compared to matched controls following THA or TKA. CONCLUSION: Patients who had a history of osteopetrosis undergoing elective primary THA are associated with a significantly increased risk for intraoperative periprosthetic fracture. Patients with a history of osteopetrosis undergoing elective primary TKA were not found to be at an increased risk for any of the investigated complications.

Osteopetrosis is a group of genetic bone disorders characterized by increased bone density and defective bone resorption. Osteopetrosis presents a series of clinical manifestations, including craniofacial deformities and dental problems. However, few previous reports have focused on the features of craniofacial and dental problems in osteopetrosis. In this review, we go through the clinical features, types, and related pathogenic genes of osteopetrosis. Then we summarize and describe the characteristics of craniofacial and dental abnormalities in osteopetrosis that have been published in PubMed from 1965 to the present. We found that all 13 types of osteopetrosis have craniomaxillofacial and dental phenotypes. The main pathogenic genes, such as chloride channel 7 gene (CLCN7), T cell immune regulator 1 (TCIRG1), osteopetrosis-associated transmembrane protein 1 (OSTM1), pleckstrin homology domain-containing protein family member 1 (PLEKHM1), and carbonic anhydrase II (CA2), and their molecular mechanisms involved in craniofacial and dental phenotypes, are discussed. We conclude that the telltale craniofacial and dental abnormalities are important for dentists and other clinicians in the diagnosis of osteopetrosis and other genetic bone diseases.

Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited disease caused by osteoclast failure, resulting in increasing bone density in humans. Patients with osteopetrosis possess several dental and cranial complications. Since carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II) deficiency is a major cause of osteopetrosis, CA-II activators might be an attractive potential treatment option for osteopetrosis patients. We conducted comprehensive label-free quantitative proteomics analysis on Fluconazole-treated Dental Pulp Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells from CA-II-Deficient Osteopetrosis Patients. We identified 251 distinct differentially expressed proteins between healthy subjects, as well as untreated and azole-treated derived cells from osteopetrosis patients. Twenty-six (26) of these proteins were closely associated with osteogenesis and osteopetrosis disease. Among them are ATP1A2, CPOX, Ap2 alpha, RAP1B and some members of the RAB protein family. Others include AnnexinA1, 5, PYGL, OSTF1 and PGAM4, all interacting with OSTM1 in the catalytic reactions of HCO3 and the Cl- channel via CAII regulation. In addition, the pro-inflammatory/osteoclast regulatory proteins RACK1, MTSE, STING1, S100A13, ECE1 and TRIM10 are involved. We have identified proteins involved in osteogenic and immune metabolic pathways, including ERK 1/2, phosphatase and ATPase, which opens the door for some CA activators to be used as an alternative drug therapy for osteopetrosis patients. These findings propose that fluconazole might be a potential treatment agent for CAII- deficient OP patients. Altogether, our findings provide a basis for further work to elucidate the clinical utility of azole, a CA activator, as a therapeutic for OP.

BACKGROUND: Osteopetrosis comprises a group of inherited disorders that are rare and result in abnormal bone structure. Bone remodeling is extremely inhibited because osteoclasts are nonfunctional or lacking. This condition causes overgrowth of bone with disappearance of the bone marrow, leading to aplastic anemia; obstruction of nerve passages in the skull leads to blindness and often hearing impairment. In most cases, osteopetrosis results in oral complications such as tooth deformation, hypomineralization, and delayed or absent tooth eruption. The only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The main treatment of the oral complications during childhood and adolescence consists in protecting the erupted teeth against caries disease through prophylactic treatment aimed at optimal oral hygiene through frequent regular dental visits throughout life. Many patients with osteopetrosis require major oral rehabilitation to treat complications of the disease. Improved results of HSCT increase the likelihood that dental professionals will encounter patients with osteopetrosis. CASE PRESENTATION: In this case report, we show that individuals with osteopetrosis who have severe oral complications can be treated successfully if they are treated for osteopetrosis at an early age. The boy had his dental care in pedodontics, and regular multidisciplinary meetings were held for future treatment planning. At the age of 15, he was then referred for rehabilitation. The initial evaluations revealed no further growth in the alveolar bone. The rehabilitation was done stepwise, with extraction of malformed and malpositioned teeth. Initially, the patient received a removable partial denture followed by reconstruction of the width of the alveolar process, titanium implants, temporary fixed bridges, and finally screw-retained titanium-ceramic bridges with titanium frames for the upper and lower jaws. CONCLUSIONS: The three-year follow-up after loading indicated a stable marginal bone level and optimal oral hygiene as a result of frequent professional oral hygiene care. The patient showed no signs of symptoms from the temporomandibular joint and has adapted to the new jaw relation without any functional or phonetical issues.

Microglia are CNS-resident macrophages that scavenge debris and regulate immune responses. Proliferation and development of macrophages, including microglia, requires Colony Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R), a gene previously associated with a dominant adult-onset neurological condition (adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia). Here, we report two unrelated individuals with homozygous CSF1R mutations whose presentation was distinct from ALSP. Post-mortem examination of an individual with a homozygous splice mutation (c.1754-1G>C) demonstrated several structural brain anomalies, including agenesis of corpus callosum. Immunostaining demonstrated almost complete absence of microglia within this brain, suggesting that it developed in the absence of microglia. The second individual had a homozygous missense mutation (c.1929C>A [p.His643Gln]) and presented with developmental delay and epilepsy in childhood. We analyzed a zebrafish model (csf1rDM) lacking Csf1r function and found that their brains also lacked microglia and had reduced levels of CUX1, a neuronal transcription factor. CUX1+ neurons were also reduced in sections of homozygous CSF1R mutant human brain, identifying an evolutionarily conserved role for CSF1R signaling in production or maintenance of CUX1+ neurons. Since a large fraction of CUX1+ neurons project callosal axons, we speculate that microglia deficiency may contribute to agenesis of the corpus callosum via reduction in CUX1+ neurons. Our results suggest that CSF1R is required for human brain development and establish the csf1rDM fish as a model for microgliopathies. In addition, our results exemplify an under-recognized form of phenotypic expansion, in which genes associated with well-recognized, dominant conditions produce different phenotypes when biallelically mutated.

Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) is a group of disease characterized by osteoclast dysfunction inhibiting bone resorption and bone turnover, with TCIRG1-associated ARO being more common leading to autosomal recessive infantile malignant osteopetrosis (OPTB1, MIM entry number # 259700). While most patients with TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis present a malignant clinical course and shortened lifespan, a few cases of non-malignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis have been reported. 24-year-old female patient came to us with limp gait, hip pain in both sides, and severe stiffness. She had suffered many fractures, bilateral hip osteoarthritis, right leg was 2 cm shorter compared with left leg. Whole Exome Sequencing was conducted, the result and subsequent Sanger's sequencing shown the patient had a compound heterozygous genotype at TCIRG1 (c.1194dup, p.Gly399ArgTer and c.334G>A, p.Gly112Arg), these two variants found were not previously reported. Sanger's sequencing revealed two other siblings whom suffer the same disorder had similar genotype to the proband; the parents were found to be heterozygous. This is the first case of TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis reported in Vietnam and one of the few cases of nonmalignant TCIRG1-associated osteopetrosis, in which detailed clinical and genetic work-up were performed.

BACKGROUND: Osteopetrosis is an uncommon inherited disease marked with elevated bone density and frequent bone fractures owing to flawed osteoclast activity. Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (ADO-2), a benign form of osteopetrosis, is also known as Albers-Schonberg disease. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the first successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery for ACL rupture treatment in a 30-year-old female with ADO-2, who carried a heterozygous missense mutation c.2227C > T (p.Arg743Trp) in exon 23 of the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene. Histopathological analysis of the ruptured ACL sample revealed massive calcium salt deposition in the ligament tissue. A ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) artificial ligament was employed in her ACL reconstruction surgery. At her final 16 month's follow-up, she reported no knee instability symptoms and other complications. The range of motion of the affected knee was good. The side-to-side difference in knee laxity, as evidenced by a KT-1000 arthrometer was 0.9 mm. The Lysholm score improved from 45 before operation to 83 after operation. The Tegner activity score improved from 1 before operation to 4 after operation. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings further confirmed that the newly identified mutated locus (p.Arg743Trp) may lead to acid secretion disorders at different sites (including calcified ACL in our case). In terms of clinical treatment, ligament reconstruction surgery in patients with Albers-Schonberg disease presents a unique challenge to orthopedic surgeons and requires further preparation and time.
