This case highlights the value of genetic screening for idiopathic osteoporosis with recurrent fractures.
Case report and review of the literature.
A 52-year-old Caucasian female with idiopathic osteoporosis with recurrent fractures was identified with a heterozygous low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 5 (LRP5) mutation.
This case highlights the variability in clinical expression of LRP5 polymorphisms and suggests that standard treatment in cases of recurrent fracture may be ineffective.
本病例突出了对复发性骨折的特发性骨质疏松症进行基因筛查的价值。
病例报告及文献复习。
一名52岁患有复发性骨折的特发性骨质疏松症的白种女性被鉴定出存在杂合性低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白5(LRP5)突变。
本病例突出了LRP5多态性临床表达的变异性,并提示复发性骨折病例的标准治疗可能无效。
